Reproductive Toxicity
Lead: Pregnancy exposure to lead might cause miscarriage or premature birth, but reports
on these effects are old and might have involved higher lead exposures than are currently
encountered. Maternal blood lead concentrations above 30 mcg/dL can be associated with
detectable abnormalities in cognitive/behavioral testing in infants. Lower concentrations
(less than 10 mcg/dL) might be associated with subtle neurobehavioral effects, but these
effects might be transient. Breastfeeding is not recommended if the maternal blood lead
concentration is 40 mcg/dL or hi
Teratogenicity
Lead is a teratogen. Overexposure of lead by either parent before pregnancy may increase
the chances of miscarriage or birth defects.
STOT - Single Exposure
Not classified.
STOT - Repeated Exposure
Not classified.
Chronic Toxicity
Lead: Lead is a cumulative poison. Increasing amounts of lead can build up in the body and
may reach a point where symptoms and disabilities occur. Continuous exposure may
result in decreased fertility.
Antimony: Chronic effects due to antimony are alterations of the ECG, especially T-wave
abnormalities, myocardial changes, pneumoconiosis, but also pneumonitis, tracheitis,
laryngitis, bronchitis, pustular skin eruptions called antimony spots, and contact allergy to
the metal.
Target Organ Effects
Lead is a cumulative poison and may be absorbed into the body through ingestion or
inhalation. Inorganic lead compounds have been documented in observational human
studies to produce toxicity in multiple organ systems and body function including the
hematopoietic (blood) system, kidney function, reproductive function and the central
nervous system. Postnatal exposure to lead compounds is associated with impacts on
neurobehavioral development in children.
Aspiration Hazard
Due to the physical form of the product, it is not an aspiration hazard.
