Other Adverse Effects:
Target Organ Toxicity: No reported target organ toxicity from this product. Lead has caused nervous
system, kidney and hematopoietic system damage in humans and laboratory
animals.
Reproductive Toxicity: This product is not known or reported to cause reproductive effects. Lead has
been shown to reduce male reproductive function in humans and laboratory
animals.
Teratogenicity (Birth Defects): This product is not known or reported to cause developmental toxicity. Lead has
been shown to affect fetal development including birth defects.
Mutagenicity: This product is not known or reported to be mutagenic. Lead has been shown to be
mutagenic in several in vitro assays.
Carcinogenicity: This product is not listed as a carcinogen by OSHA, NTP or IARC. IARC lists lead
as possibly carcinogenic to humans, group 2B.
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Environmental Effects:
PRODUCT: Product has not been tested for environmental properties.
COMPONENTS:
Copper: Copper concentrations from 0.1 to 1.0 mg/l have been found 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 is reported to be 2-5 mg/l. Lead is toxic to
waterfowl.
Nitrocellulose: LC
50
> 1000 mg/l to fish, invertebrates, and algae.
Nitroglycerin: LC
50
= 1.228 mg/l to Bluegill, (96 hour, static)
Zinc: The following concentrations of zinc have been reported as lethal to fish: 0.13
mg/l, for 12 – 24 hours to Rainbow trout fingerlings; 1.9 – 3.6 mg/l, 6 hr TLM
(soft water, 30°C) to Bluegill Sunfish; 4 mg/l, 3 days (hard water) to Rainbow
trout; 1 mg/l, 24 hours (soft water) to Sticklebacks.
The presence of copper appears to have a synergistic effect on the toxicity of
zinc towards fish.
Environmental Fate:
MOBILITY: Dissolved lead may migrate through soil.
PERSISTANCE/DEGRADABILITY: Not biodegradable.
BIOACCUMULATION: No data
