Toxicity
Toxic by ingestion or inhalation
Chronic poison
Lead is a poison that affects virtually every system in the body
Symptoms include fatigue, headaches, constipation, aching bones and
muscles, gastrointestinal tract disturbances and reduced appetite
Blood lead levels of 80 µg/dl and above have been associated with both
acute and chronic effects of lead poisoning
Active materials:
Lead dioxide.
Lead dioxide.
Toxicity
Toxic by ingestion or inhalation
Chronic poison
Chronic exposure to lead compounds may lead to a build-up of lead in the
body, giving rise to a variety of health problems, including anaemia, kidney
and liver damage, impaired eyesight, memory loss and CNS
and liver damage, impaired eyesight, memory loss and CNS
