HEALTH HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
1 Acute toxicity (Oral) Classification not possible - - - - Although there are two data (IUCLID (2000)) of rat LD50> 15000mg/kg and LD50> 2000mg/kg, it cannot classify with only these data.
1 Acute toxicity (Dermal) Classification not possible - - - - No data available
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases) Not applicable - - - - Solid (GHS definition)
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours) Classification not possible - - - - No data available
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Dusts and mists) Classification not possible - - - - No data available
2 Skin corrosion/irritation Classification not possible - - - - No data available
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Classification not possible - - - - No data available
4 Respiratory sensitization Classification not possible - - - - No data available
4 Skin sensitization Classification not possible - - - - No data available
5 Germ cell mutagenicity Classification not possible - - - - No data available
6 Carcinogenicity Category 1B Danger H350: May cause cancer P308+P313: IF exposed or concerned: Get medical advice/attention.
P201: Obtain special instructions before use.
P202: Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood.
P281: Use personal protective equipment as required.
P405: Store locked up.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
It was classified into R by NTP(NTP (2005)), into Group 2A by IARC (IARC 87 (2004)), into A3 by ACGIH(ACGIH-TLV (2004)), and into 2B by Japan Society for Occupational Health(JETOC specially data No.190 (2004)). So it was set as Category 1B.
7 Reproductive toxicity Category 1A Danger H360: May damage fertility or the unborn child P308+P313: IF exposed or concerned: Get medical advice/attention.
P201: Obtain special instructions before use.
P202: Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood.
P281: Use personal protective equipment as required.
P405: Store locked up.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
There is no reproductive toxicity data as lead stearates. However, since lead is known as the development neural toxicity material and reproductive toxicity in human (ACGIH-TLV (2004), ATSDR (draft 2005)), it is classified into the Category 1A. Refer to [ID 168, a lead, CAS NO:439-92-1], [ID 48, oxidization lead (II), CAS NO:1317-36-8], and [lead acetates (II), CAS NO:301-04-2] about health toxicity.
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Category 1 (blood system, kidney, nervous system) Danger H370: Causes damage to organs (blood system, kidney, nervous system) P307+P311: IF exposed: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician.
P260: Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray.
P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling.
P270: Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product.
P321: Specific treatment (see ... on this label).
P405: Store locked up.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
There is no information about a single exposure to lead stearate. However, as toxicity of the inorganic lead compounds, besides the inhibition of hemoglobin synthesis induced to humans by delta-aminolevulinic acid and heme synthase inhibition, anemia caused by the shortening of red cell life span, interstitial disorders, the reduction of urinary output, the proximal tubule damages which cause the Fanconi syndromes represented by alubuminuria, bloody urine, urine pillars, glucosuria and amino acid urine, etc. are observed. As they act on the peripheral nerves, especially weakness of the line of the limbs, pain, and convulsion are identified, and as their influences on the central nerve systems such as ataxie, headach, abnormal sebsation, depression, and coma are identified with high concentration exposures. These influences are acute ones
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Category 1 (blood system, kidney, nervous system) Danger H372: Cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (blood system, kidney, nervous system) P260: Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray.
P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling.
P270: Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product.
P314: Get medical advice/attention if you feel unwell.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
There is no repetitive exposure information about lead stearate. However, the hemoglobin composition prevention which originated in delta-aminolevulinic acid and heme synthetases inhibition, the anemia by shortening of red cell life span, an interstitial disorders, oliguria, and the proximal tubule damages which assumes the Fanconi syndromes represented by albuminuria, bloody urine, a urinary cast, diabetes, amino acid urine to human as toxicity of the inorganic lead compounds are seen. It acts on the peripheral nerves, especially the weakness, pain, and convulsion of the muscles of extremities are acknowledged, and in high concentration exposures the effects on the central nervous systems such as ataxie, headache, dysesthesia, depression, and a coma, etc. are acknowledged. It was classified to as Category 1 (blood systems, kidney, nervous system), based on these effects which are seen equally in acute effect or chronic effect (ACGIH-TLV (2004)).
