SYMPTOMS: Symptoms of exposure to a related compound include reddening and swelling of the eyes and skin, blisters, tearing, runny nose, dry throat and chest discomfort. Inhalation may cause sneezing and coughing. Other symptoms include irritation of the skin, eyes, mucous membranes and respirator tract. Exposure can cause conjunctivitis, erythema, rapid pulse, dizziness, urticaria, intolerance to alcohol, palpitation and hypotension. It may also cause vasodilation of the face and neck, tachycardia, tachypnea, cardiac arrhythmias, pallor, hypertension, convulsions, myocardial infarction, optic neuritis, peripheral neuropathy, hypersensitivity hepatitis, fatigue, sleepiness, headache, chromosomal aberrations (rare) and damage in the nerve cells of the cerebral cortex. Other symptoms include clinical and subclinical liver dysfunction and asthenia, thoracic pain, skin lesions, myocardial dystrophia and enlargement of the thyroid. It may cause reduced potency, gastrointestinal disorders, unpleasant taste, lowered blood pressure, mild confusion, lethargy, impaired memory span, bizarre behavior, emotional lability, ataxia, hallucinations, uncontrollable arm movements, irritability, speech difficulty, drowsiness, loss of libido, psychoses (rare), Parkinsonian tremor, neuropsychiatric effects, anorexia, weight loss, emesis, coma, delirium, catatonia, suppression of the tendon reflexes, hypotonia, flaccid paralysis and death. It may also cause hyperventilation, sweating, breathlessness, air hunger, chest pain, central nervous system depression and rash. Pulmonary damage may also occur. Diarrhea and allergic eczema have been reported. Photophobia and skin sensitization are also symptoms. Inhalation of a related compound after alcohol consumption has caused nausea, vomiting and flushing. It also causes collapse. Other symptoms following alcohol ingestion include gastric pain, hyperirritability, fine tremor of the fingers and tongue, elevated blood pressure, slight fever, moderate lymphopenia; albumin, urobilinogen and numerous casts in the urine, liver enlargement, ulcers of the oral cavity and goiters. Symptoms of exposure to this type of chemical may include abdominal pain or discomfort, colic, constipation, metallic taste, nausea, vomiting, lassitude, insomnia, weakness, joint and muscle pains, lead line on the gums, pyorrhea, abdominal tenderness, basophilic stippling, anemia, slight albuminuria and increased urinary excretion. Other symptoms of exposure to this type of chemical may include black stools, oliguria, collapse, apathy, loss of recently developed skills, nervousness, vague pains in the arms and legs, incoordination, sensory disturbances of the extremities, paralysis of extensor muscles of arms and legs with wrist and foot drop, disturbance of menstrual cycle, abortion, stupor, encephalopathy, papilledema and paralysis of the cranial nerves. Exposure may also cause nightmares, muscular weakness, restlessness, anxiety, hypothermia, bradycardia, delusions, exaggerated muscular movements and a maniacal state. It may also cause seizures and cardiorespiratory arrest. Chronic exposure may cause severe damage to blood-forming, nervous system, urinary and reproductive systems; excessive tiredness numbness, hyperactivity, damage to the central nervous system, feeling of dull ness, kidney disease, permanent kidney damage, birth defects, stillbirth and decreased hemoglobin. It causes decreased sex drive, impotence and sterility in men. In women, it may cause decreased fertility. ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: When heated to decomposition this compound emits very toxic fumes of lead, nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides. Ingestion of alcoholic beverages can result in potentially serious toxic effects after exposure (including topical) of this type of compound. (NTP, 1992)

Immediate first aid: Ensure that adequate decontamination has been carried out. If patient is not breathing, start artificial respiration, preferably with a demand-valve resuscitator, bag-valve-mask device, or pocket mask, as trained. Perform CPR if necessary. Immediately flush contaminated eyes with gently flowing water. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain an open airway and prevent aspiration. Keep patient quiet and maintain normal body temperature. Obtain medical attention. Lead and related compounds

Extinguishant: Dry sand, dry dolomite, or dry graphite. Inorganic lead

Flash point data for this chemical are not available; however, it is probably combustible. (NTP, 1992)

Use water spray, powder, foam, carbon dioxide.

Personal protection: particulate filter respirator adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Sweep spilled substance into covered sealable containers. If appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting.

SRP: Wastewater from contaminant suppression, cleaning of protective clothing/equipment, or contaminated sites should be contained and evaluated for subject chemical or decomposition product concentrations. Concentrations shall be lower than applicable environmental discharge or disposal criteria. Alternatively, pretreatment and/or discharge to a permitted wastewater treatment facility is acceptable only after review by the governing authority and assurance that "pass through" violations will not occur. Due consideration shall be given to remediation worker exposure (inhalation, dermal and ingestion) as well as fate during treatment, transfer and disposal. If it is not practicable to manage the chemical in this fashion, it must be evaluated in accordance with EPA 40 CFR Part 261, specifically Subpart B, in order to determine the appropriate local, state and federal requirements for disposal.

NO open flames. Handling in a well ventilated place. Wear suitable protective clothing. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid formation of dust and aerosols. Use non-sparking tools. Prevent fire caused by electrostatic discharge steam.

Combustible when exposed to heat or flame.LEAD DIMETHYLDITHIOCARBAMATE is a organometallic with thio carbamate chelating group. Flammable gases are generated by the combination of thiocarbamates and dithiocarbamates with aldehydes, nitrides, and hydrides. Thiocarbamates and dithiocarbamates are incompatible with acids, peroxides, and acid halides. Organometallics are strongly reactive with many other groups. Incompatible with acids and bases. Organometallics are good reducing agents and therefore incompatible with oxidizing agents. Often reactive with water to generate toxic or flammable gases. Organometallics containing halogens (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine) bonded to the metal typically with generate gaseous hydrohalic acids (HF, HCl, HBr, HI) with water.

The material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.

Containers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.
