Chemical: Acetic acid, lead(2+) salt, trihydrate

Acetic acid, lead(2+) salt, trihydrate is listed on the EPA's Chemical Data Reporting (CDR) system. Manufacturers and importers of Acetic acid, lead(2+) salt, trihydrate are required to report information about their production and use of this chemical to the EPA under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). (40 eCFR Part 711)

Lead (II) acetate, trihydrate: Does not have an individual approval but may be used under an appropriate group standard

SYMPTOMS: Symptoms of exposure to this compound include irritation of the skin, eyes and respiratory tract, nausea, vomiting, shock, weakness, headache, coma and death. Symptoms of mild exposure include lethargy, moroseness, constipation, flatulence and occasional abdominal pain. Advanced poisoning may cause loss of appetite, anemia and gradual paralysis of the muscles (especially in the arms). Other symptoms include metallic taste, muscle and joint pain or soreness, fine tremors, hyperactivity, colic and wrist drop. It may also cause a black or blue line on the gums, basophilic stippling on erythrocytes and, in pregnant women, tonic contractions of the uterus which may result in abortion. Exposure may cause convulsions, delirium, stupor, encephalopathy leading to blindness (due to injury to the optic nerves by pressure or direct toxic action), encrustations, opacities in previously injured corneas and optic atrophy.

LEAD ACETATE TRIHYDRATE may react with acids and oxidizing agents. Is incompatible with sulfates, citrates, tartrates, chlorides, carbonates, alkalis, tannin, resorcinol, salicylic acid, phenol, chloral hydrate, sulfites, vegetable infusions and tinctures. Incompatible with phosphates (NTP, 1992). Incompatible with KBrO3 and with EDTA.

Acute Tox. 4 (71.7%)

Acute toxicity - category 4

Acute toxicity (Oral) - Category 5

Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Acute) - Category 3

EYES: First check the victim for contact lenses and remove if present. Flush victim's eyes with water or normal saline solution for 20 to 30 minutes while simultaneously calling a hospital or poison control center. Do not put any ointments, oils, or medication in the victim's eyes without specific instructions from a physician. IMMEDIATELY transport the victim after flushing eyes to a hospital even if no symptoms (such as redness or irritation) develop.

SMALL SPILLS AND LEAKAGE: If you spill this chemical, you should dampen the solid spill material with water, then transfer the dampened material to a suitable container. Use absorbent paper dampened with water to pick up any remaining material. Seal your contaminated clothing and the absorbent paper in a vapor-tight plastic bag for eventual disposal. Wash all contaminated surfaces with a soap and water solution. Do not reenter the contaminated area until the Safety Officer (or other responsible person) has verified that the area has been properly cleaned.
