POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
INHALATION: After ammunition has been fired, dust, vapors, and/or fumes may be irritating to the respiratory system
and can result in both acute and chronic overexposure. *
INGESTION: When ammunition is fired or otherwise discharged, dust, vapors, and/or fumes may be absorbed by the
digestive system and can result in both acute and chronic overexposure. * Ingestion of a complete round can cause
irritation to the digestive system, and possibly other unknown health effects.
SKIN CONTACT: After ammunition has been fired, dust, vapors, and/or fumes may cause irritation. * Projectiles from
fired ammunition can cause puncture wounds.
SKIN ABSORPTION: Lead absorption into the skin is not likely to occur
EYE CONTACT: After ammunition has been fired, dust, vapors, and/or fumes may cause irritation.
ACCIDENTAL INJURY FROM FIRED CARTRIDGE: Fired ammunition can create serious injury, possibly both
entrance and exit wounds. To avoid serious injury, use ammunition only in good condition and originally chambered for
a particular caliber. Always keep the barrel free of any obstruction. If the gun fails to fire, a delayed firing may occur, or
the gun may fire upon being opened. Keep gun muzzle pointed in a safe direction. Wait 30 seconds. Avoid exposure
to breech. Carefully unload. A fired bullet has an extremely long range and can cause serious injury or death. Always
be sure of the backstop, and practice safe muzzle control at all times. Avoid firing at surfaces that could result in a
ricochet, such as water, rocks, or any other hard, flat surface. *
All hazards marked with an asterisk (*) are not expected to be present unless the product is fired, or otherwise
discharged so that gasses, fumes, or projectiles are created. Normal handling and shipping should not cause exposure
to these hazards.
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE *
ACUTE OVEREXPOSURE: If left untreated; weakness, vomiting, loss of appetite, uncoordinated body movements,
convulsions, stupor, and possibly coma may occur. Damage is possible to the reproductive systems in both males and
females. *
CHRONIC OVEREXPOSURE: If left untreated; weakness, insomnia, hypertension, slight irritations to the skin and eyes,
metallic taste in the mouth, anemia, constipation, headache, muscle and joint pains, neuro-muscular dysfunction,
possible paralysis, encephalopathy, and damage to the reproductive systems in both males and females. *
Lead and its inorganic compounds are neurotoxins that may produce neuropathy. For an overview of the health effects
of lead exposure, consult the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Appendix A of Occupational
Exposure to Lead, 29 CFR 1910.1025.

SECTION 4. FIRST AID MEASURES
EYES: If chemicals are gotten in the eyes, flush with copious quantities of water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical
attention. If physical injury has occurred because of projectiles, get immediate medical attention.
SKIN: Wash thoroughly with soap and water. If physical injury has occurred because of projectiles, get immediate
medical attention.
INHALATION: Remove from exposure. Get medical attention If experiencing effects of overexposure. *
SECTION 5. EMERGENCY RESPONSE INFORMATION
IF PRODUCT IS INVOLVED IN FIRE: Use water. Fog type application to surrounding areas and other combustibles
will reduce the potential for fire spread and will lower temperatures of the product.
FIREFIGHTERS: Must be protected from explosion of material. Normal fire fighting attire will provide limited protection
at certain distances if product is packaged. If product is unconfined, there is a greater risk for injury from projectiles.
Product may explode if heated above 200 degrees C.
TRANSPORTATION EMERGENCIES: Contact CHEMTREC at 1-800-424-9300. Consult the DOT Emergency
Response Guidebook for instructions for handling emergencies involving this product.
SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL SPILL/RELEASE MEASURES
Dry sweeping can contain spilled product. The recommended means for disposing of scrap is by incineration.
Incineration must be at a fully permitted facility specifically designed and permitted in accordance with all applicable
local, state, and federal regulations.
After scrapped by proper incineration, the remaining scrap materials should be disposed of or recycled in accordance
with local, state, and federal regulations.
SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE PRECAUTIONS
