The primary routes of exposure to lead are ingestion or inhalation of dust and fumes.

Exposure to lead and its compounds may cause headache, nausea, vomiting, abdominal spasms, fatigue, sleep disturbances,

weight loss, anemia, and pain in the legs, arms and joints. Kidney damage, as well as anemia, can occur from acute exposure.

Prolonged exposure to lead and its compounds may produce many of the symptoms of short-term exposure and may also
cause central nervous system damage, gastrointestinal disturbances, anemia, and wrist drop.  Symptoms of central nervous

system damage include fatigue, headaches, tremors, hypertension, hallucination, convulsions and delirium.  Kidney

dysfunction and possible injury has also been associated with chronic lead poisoning.  Chronic over-exposure to lead has been

implicated as a causative agent for the impairment of male and female reproductive capacity, but there is at present, no

substantiation of the implication.  Pregnant women should be protected from excessive exposure.  Lead can cross the
placental barrier and unborn children may suffer neurological damage or developmental problems due to excessive lead

exposure in pregnant women.

In most surface water and groundwater, lead forms compounds with anions such as hydroxides, carbonates, sulfates, and

phosphates, and precipitates out of the water column. Lead may occur as sorbed ions or surface coatings on sediment mineral
particles or may be carried in colloidal particles in surface water.  Most lead is strongly retained in soil, resulting in little

mobility.  Lead may be immobilized by ion exchange with hydrous oxides or clays or by chelation with humic or fulvic acids in

the soil.  Lead (dissolved phase) is bioaccumulated by plants and animals, both aquatic and terrestrial.

Lead-acid batteries are completely recyclable.  Return whole scrap batteries to distributor, manufacturer or lead smelter for
recycling. For neutralized spills, place residue in acid-resistant containers with sorbent material, sand or earth and dispose of

in accordance with local, state and federal regulations for acid and lead compounds.  Contact local and/or state environmental

officials regarding disposal information.
