TOXICOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
Routes of exposure:
Exposure limits:
Acute effects of exposure:
Excessive exposure to gases might cause irritation to the eyes, skin, and respiratory system. Adverse health effects are not expected from acute exposure to fumes and gases; however, adequate ventilation, personal protective equipment, and/or good personal hygiene practices are essential to keep exposure to a minimum.
Chronic effects of exposure:
Chronic (long-term) overexposure to lead can result in damage to blood-forming, nervous, urinary and reproductive systems. Organic lead compounds are not classified by IARC or NTP as carcinogens. Lead styphnate is converted to metallic lead and lead oxide during combustion. Metallic lead and lead oxide have not been tested adequately. A study by Goyer and Rhyne (1973) concluded that "there is no evidence that lead produces cancer in man". Synergistic materials:

If irritation occurs, flush with plenty of water. Consult a physician if symptoms persist. Practice good hygiene; i.e. wash with soap and water after using and before meals. Inhalation:
Move victim to fresh air. Get medical attention if symptoms persist. Ingestion:
Seek prompt medical attention if physical injury occurs from pins, rivets, debris, etc. For bleeding wounds, place a clean cloth or similar absorbent material on the wound and apply firm pressure. Elevate the wound and transport immediately to a medical facility. PREVENTIVE MEASURES
Engineering controls:
General (i.e., natural or mechanically induced fresh air movements). Eye protection:
Suitable safety glasses with side-shields, or safety goggles. Skin protection:
Cleaning powder actuated tools can result in some exposure to lead compounds. Impermeable gloves are recommended for cleaning, otherwise wash hands thoroughly when finished and before eating or smoking.
Respiratory protection:
Not normally required. Where air movement is inadequate to maintain exposure below recommended levels, wear a high efficiency particulate respirator. Hearing protection should be worn when firing powder actuated tools Handling procedures and
For industrial use only. Keep out of reach of children. Use with adequate ventilation. Use only in equipment:
powder actuated tools designed to handle these boosters. All employees should be familiarized with the safe operating procedures and requirements for powder operated tools as described in ANSI A10.3. Practice good hygiene; i.e. wash after using and before eating or smoking. Storage requirements:
Store in a cool dry place. Do not crush or drop. Keep away from excessive heat (such as extremely hot surfaces and flames), electrical current, strong acids and oxidizers. Spill, leak or release:
Waste disposal:
Misfires should be stored in a closed container until disposal or as otherwise required by local, state, and provincial safety, health and environmental regulations. The recommended disposal method is in a burner specifically designed to destroy ammunition. Consult with regulatory agencies or your corporate personnel for disposal methods that comply with local, provincial, and federal safety, health and environmental regulations.
