The IDLH for this product is not known. The IDLH for copper and lead
is 100 mg/m3. The IDLH for barium nitrate is 50 mg/m3.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
This product is composed of a metal capsule which contains the various components completely sealed within. Therefore, under
normal handling of this product, no exposure to any harmful materials will occur.
When the product is fired, a small amount of particles may be generated which may be slightly irritating to the eyes and the
respiratory tract. The particles may contain trace amounts of these harmful substances:
Lead: Ingestion of large amounts of lead can cause abdominal pain, constipation, cramps, nausea and/or vomiting. Chronic
exposure to lead can cause kidney damage, anemia, reproductive effects, developmental effects and permanent nervous system
damage in humans including changes in cognitive function.
Copper: Inhalation of high concentrations of metallic copper dusts or fumes may cause nasal irritation and/or nausea, vomiting and
stomach pain.
Antimony sulfide: Inhalation of high concentrations may cause dizziness, headache and nausea. Workers chronically exposed to
high concentrations of antimony sulfide have developed heart and blood effects.
Barium nitrate: Ingestion of large doses of soluble barium compounds can cause cyanosis, skeletal muscle paralysis, respiratory
arrest, irregular heartbeat and hypertension.
It is unlikely that the amount of particles that someone would be exposed to from firing would be sufficient to cause any of these
effects.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: There are no medical conditions known to be aggravated by exposure to
this product in its solid form. Exposure to lead can aggravate anemia, cardiovascular and respiratory disease.
POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS:
4.
FIRST AID MEASURES
Product has not been tested for environmental properties.
EYE CONTACT: Immediately flush out fume or particles with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting
the upper and lower eyelids. If eye irritation develops, call a physician at once.
SKIN CONTACT: Wash skin with plenty of soap and water.
INHALATION:
Get medical attention.
If symptoms of lung irritation occur (coughing, wheezing or breathing difficulty), remove from exposure area to
fresh air immediately. If breathing has stopped, perform artificial respiration. Keep affected person warm and at
rest.
INGESTION:
5.
If ingested, immediately call a physician.

ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
MSDS No.: 00071.0001
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) lists lead as possibly
carcinogenic to humans, group 2B. Implantation or injection of man-made glass
fibers into laboratory animals has resulted in the formation of tumors. However,
these studies bypass the animals natural defense mechanisms and are not
necessarily representative of the response in human exposures. IARC lists fibrous
glass as possibly carcinogenic to humans, group 2B.
This product is not known or reported to be mutagenic. Lead has been shown to be
mutagenic in several in vitro assays.
This product is not known or reported to cause reproductive or developmental
effects. Lead has been shown to affect fetal development including birth defects
and reduce male reproductive function in laboratory animals.
This product is not known or reported to cause neurological effects. Lead has
caused peripheral and central nervous system damage and behavioral effects in
laboratory animals.
None known or reported.

MSDS No.: 00071.0001
ECOTOXICITY: No data is available on this product. Individual constituents are as follows:
Copper: The toxicity of copper to aquatic organisms varies significantly not only with the species, but also with the
physical and chemical characteristics of the water, such as its temperature, hardness, turbidity and carbon dioxide
content. Copper concentration varying from 0.1 to 1.0 mg/l have been found by various investigators to be not toxic
for most fish. However, concentrations of 0.015 to 3.0 mg/l have been reported as toxic, particularly in soft water to
many kinds of fish, crustacea, mollusks, insects, and plankton.
Lead: LC 50 (48 hrs.) to bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus) is reported to be 2-5 mg/l. Lead is toxic to waterfowl.
Zinc: The following concentrations of zinc have been reported as lethal to fish:
Rainbow trout fingerlings: 0.13 mg/l, 12 – 24 hours
Bluegill sunfish: 6 hr TLM = 1.9 – 3.6 mg/l (soft water, 30°C)
Rainbow trout: 4 mg/l (hard water) 3 days
Sticklebacks: 1 mg/l (soft water) 24 hrs
The presence of copper appears to have a synergistic effect on the toxicity of zinc towards fish.
MOBILITY: Dissolved lead may migrate through soil.
PERSISTANCE/DEGRADABILITY: Not biodegradable. May decompose in soil leading to accumulation of lead.
BIOACCUMULATION: No data
