stopped, give artificial respiration. Get medical attention immediately. If not
breathing, give artificial respiration. Avoid direct contact with skin. Use barrier
to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. If breathing is difficult, (trained
personnel should) give oxygen. Seek immediate medical attention/advice.
Delayed pulmonary edema may occur.
Do NOT induce vomiting. Rinse mouth. Rinse mouth immediately and drink
plenty of water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call
a physician or poison control center immediately.
Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, take
precautions to protect themselves and prevent spread of contamination. Avoid
contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Avoid direct contact with skin. Use barrier
to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Use personal protective equipment as
required. Wear personal protective clothing (see section 8).
Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
Most Important Symptoms and
Effects
Burning sensation. Lead poisoning is characterized by a metallic taste in the

attacks of pneumonia are common. Gastrointestinal disturbances may also be
seen. Contains a known or suspected carcinogen. Contains a known or
suspected reproductive toxin. Possible risk of irreversible effects. Avoid
repeated exposure. Prolonged exposure may cause chronic effects. May
cause adverse effects on the bone marrow and blood-forming system. Lead
