Toxicological information

• Acute toxicity:

LD L0 oral mus : 12.000 mg/kg

• Dangerous effects for health:

The data we have are insufficient for correct toxicological assessment. Based on the physico-chemical properties, the likely dangerous characteristics are: For lead compounds in general : In high concentrations: The product is absorbed with difficulty in the gastro-intestinal tract, which can cause acute toxicity. After a period of latency: Metallic taste nausea vomiting intestinal disorders shock Chronic effects muscular disorders blood alterations effects on the central nervous system Pregnant women must not be allowed to come into contact with the product. Possible risk of adverse effects to the foetus during pregnacy. Possible risk of impaired fertility. If swallowed in large quantities: nausea vomiting Other dangerous characteristics are not discarded.

Considerations regarding elimination

13.1 Substance or preparation:

In the European Union, there are no homogeneous standards established for elimination of chemical waste, which is waste of a special nature, and treatment and elimination of same is subject to the domestic legislation in each country.

In view of this, in each case, you should contact the competent authority or those companies legally authorized for elimination of waste.

2001/573/EC: Council Decision of 23 July 2001 amending Commission Decision 2000/532/EC as regards the list of wastes.Council Directive 91/156/EEC of 18 March 1991 amending Directive 75/442/EEC on waste.

.

13.2 Contaminated containers:

Contaminated containers and packaging of dangerous substances or preparations must be treated in the same manner as the actual products contained in them.

European Parliament and Council Directive 94/62/EC of 20 December 1994 on packaging and packaging waste.
