Health
Hazard
s or Risks From Exposure
This product is composed of a finished metal alloy cartridge 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.
Nitroglycerin: Will produce dilation of blood vessels and drop in blood pressure which may affect the heart. It has also been shown to
cause methemoglobinemia (cyanosis).
Copper: Inhalation of high concentrations of metallic copper dusts or fumes may cause nasal irritation and/or nausea, vomiting and
stomach pain.
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.
