LEAD NITRATE

ICSC: 1000

PHYSICAL & CHEMICAL INFORMATION
Physical State; Appearance WHITE OR COLOURLESS CRYSTALS. Physical dangers No data. Chemical dangers Decomposes at 290°C. This produces toxic fumes of nitrogen oxides and lead oxides. The substance is a strong oxidant. It reacts violently with combustible and reducing materials. Reacts violently with ammonium thiocyanate, red-hot carbon and lead hypophosphate.	Formula: N₂O₆Pb / Pb(NO₃)₂ Molecular mass: 331.2 Decomposes at 290°C Relative density (water = 1): 4.6 Solubility in water, g/100ml at 20°C: 52

Relative density (water = 1): 4.6
Solubility in water, g/100ml at 20°C: 52

EXPOSURE & HEALTH EFFECTS
Routes of exposure The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its aerosol and by ingestion. Effects of short-term exposure The substance is irritating to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract.	Inhalation risk Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a harmful concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly when dispersed, especially if powdered. Effects of long-term or repeated exposure The substance may have effects on the blood, gastrointestinal tract, kidneys, liver and nervous system. This may result in anaemia, hypertension, kidney impairment, liver impairment, convulsions and paralysis. This substance is possibly carcinogenic to humans. Causes serious reproductive toxicity in humans.

EXPOSURE & HEALTH EFFECTS

Routes of exposure
The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its aerosol and by ingestion.

Effects of short-term exposure
The substance is irritating to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract.

Inhalation risk
Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a harmful concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly when dispersed, especially if powdered.

Effects of long-term or repeated exposure
The substance may have effects on the blood, gastrointestinal tract, kidneys, liver and nervous system. This may result in anaemia, hypertension, kidney impairment, liver impairment, convulsions and paralysis. This substance is possibly carcinogenic to humans. Causes serious reproductive toxicity in humans.

OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS
TLV: 0.05 mg/m³, as TWA; A3 (confirmed animal carcinogen with unknown relevance to humans). MAK: carcinogen category: 2; germ cell mutagen group: 3A. EU-OEL: (binding): 0.15 mg/m³ as TWA

ENVIRONMENT
The substance is toxic to aquatic organisms. The substance may cause long-term effects in the aquatic environment. Bioaccumulation of this chemical may occur in marine organisms and terrestrial organisms. It is strongly advised not to let the chemical enter into the environment because it is persistent.

NOTES
Depending on the degree of exposure, periodic medical examination is suggested. Do NOT take working clothes home.
