<br /> acids in the presence of oxygen.Lead is resistant to tap water,hydrofluoric acid brine,and solvents.
<br /> Coodltloos to Avoid: Rubber glove containing lead may ignite in nitric acid.
<br /> Hazardous Products of Iecomposltlon:Thermal oxidative decomposition of lead can produce highly toxic fumes of lead

<br /> Careloogeddty:Although the NTP and OSHA do not list lead as a carcinogen,the IARC lists it as probably carcinogenic to humans,but hr
<br /> (usually)no human evidence However,the literature reports instances of led-induced neoplasms,both benign and malignant,of the kidney a
<br /> other organs in laboratory rodents.Excessive exposure to led has resubted in neurologic disorders in infants.Experimentab studies show lead I
<br /> reproductive and teratagetic effects in laboratory animals.Human male and female reproductive effects are also documented.
<br /> Summary of Risks:Led is a potent,systemic poison that effect a variety of organ systems.including the nervous systart kidneys,reprodxt
