ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: This compound is toxic by ingestion and inhalation. (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. Poisons A and B
Suitable extinguishing media: Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide.
Flammability and Flash point data are unavailable; this compound is probably non-flammable. (NTP, 1992)
In case of fire in the surroundings, use appropriate extinguishing media.
Personal protection: particulate filter respirator adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. Vacuum spilled material with specialist equipment. If appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting. Carefully collect remainder. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.

ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES: Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: Use personal protective equipment. Avoid dust formation. Avoid breathing vapors, mist or gas. Ensure adequate ventilation. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Avoid breathing dust; Environmental precautions: Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not let product enter drains. Discharge into the environment must be avoided; Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up: Pick up and arrange disposal without creating dust. Sweep up and shovel. Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal.
NO contact with incompatible materials: See Chemical Dangers 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.

NIOSH considers chromic acid and chromates to be potential occupational carcinogens. Chromic acid and chromates
Decomposes on heating. This produces toxic fumes including lead oxides. Reacts violently with many substances such as combustible substances, amines, bases and metals. This generates fire and explosion hazard.
Stable under recommended storage conditions.
LEAD CHROMATE reacts violently with ferric ferrocyanide (NTP, 1992). The mixture of sulfur and the chromate is pyrophoric, as is the case of tantalum and the chromate. Under certain conditions, combinations of dry mixtures of lead chromate pigment and azo-dyes (nitrobenzeneazo derivatives) may lead to explosions. When these materials are intimately mixed, violent reactions may result [Loss Prev. Bull., 1978, (022), 117].

The substance is irritating to the respiratory tract.
The substance may have effects on the blood, bone marrow, central nervous system, peripheral nervous system, kidneys and lungs. This may result in anaemia, peripheral nerve disease, abdominal cramps and kidney impairment. This substance is carcinogenic to humans. May cause toxicity to human reproduction or development.
Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a harmful concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly on spraying or when dispersed, especially if powdered.

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.

Chromates are classified as human carcinogens, but evidence for this substance is limited.Lead chromate pigments may contain appreciable quantities of water-soluble lead compounds.Toxic fumes (lead and chromium compounds) are also liberated during welding, cutting and heating of material treated with lead chromate.Depending on the degree of exposure, periodic medical examination is suggested.Do NOT take working clothes home.Lead chromate occurs in nature as the minerals crocoite, phoenicochroite.NEVER use a domestic-type vacuum cleaner to vacuum the substance, only use specialist equipment.
