List substance Directive 67/548/EEC Annex I Lead paste: Skin: Studies of similar sparingly soluble inorganic lead compounds have shown that they are not corrosive or irritating to the skin of rabbits. Eyes: Studies of lead monoxide and similar sparingly soluble inorganic lead compounds have shown that they are not corrosive or irritating to the eye of the rabbit. Respiratory system: No symptoms of respiratory irritation were noted during long-term inhalation studies involving lead monoxide. Sensitizing effects Based on available data, the classification criteria are not met. Sulphuric acid: Not classified. Lead paste: There is no evidence that sparingly soluble inorganic lead compounds cause respiratory or skin sensitisation. Carcinogenic/mutagenic/toxic effects for reproduction May damage fertility or the unborn child (lead powder [particle diameter < 1 mm] / ) May cause harm to breast-fed children (lead powder [particle diameter < 1 mm] / ) Germ cell mutagenicity: Based on available data, the classification criteria are not met. Carcinogenicity: Based on available data, the classification criteria are not met. Sulphuric acid: Carcinogenicity: Not classified. Mutagenicity: Not classified. Reproductive toxicity: Inhalation, Rabbit, mouse: NOAEL 19,3 mg/m? (OECD 414); Not classified. Lead paste: Carcinogenicity: Epidemiology studies of workers exposed to inorganic lead compounds have found a limited association with stomach cancer. This has led to the classification by IARC that inorganic lead comounds are probably carcinogenic to humand (Group 2A). Mutagenicity: The evidence for genotoxic effects of highly soluble inorganic lead compounds is contradictory , with numerous studies reporting both positve and negative effects . Responses appear to be induced by indirect mechanisms, mostly at very high concentrations that lack physiological relevance. Reproductive toxicity: Exposure to high levels of inorganic lead compounds may cause adverse effects on male and female fertility, including adverse effects on sperm quality. Prenatal exposure to inorganic lead compounds is also associated with adverse effects on neurobehavioral development in children .

The sulphate ions are incorporated into the various mineral species present in the environment. Chemical degradation Hydrolysis Sulphuric acid is a strong mineral acid (pKa= 1.92) that dissociates readily in water to hydrogen ions and sulphate ions (at environmetally relevant pH) and is totally miscible with water. At all environmentally relevant concentrations, the substance will therefore exist as the environmentally ubiquitous sulphate anion and hydronium cation, that reacts with hydroxyls to form water. Phototransformation Phototransformation will not occur. Lead paste: No information available. Bioaccumulative potential Sulphuric acid: Sulphuric acid is a strong mineral acid (pKa= 1.92) that dissociates readily in water to hydrogen ions and sulphate ions (at environmetally relevant pH) and is totally miscible with water. The resulting hydrogen ions and sulphate ions are naturally present in water/sediment and no bioaccumulation of these ions is predicted. Lead paste: Inorganic lead is considered to be bioaccumulative in the environment, and may accumulate in aquatic and terrestrial plants and animals. Bioconcentration factor (BCF), Fresh water: 4,553 l/kg (wet weight). Bioconcentration factor (BCF), Soil : 0,39 kg/kg (dry weight). Sulphuric acid: Sulphuric acid is a strong mineral acid (pKa= 1.92) that dissociates readily in water to hydrogen ions and sulphate ions (at environmetally relevant pH) and is totally miscible with water. The resulting hydrogen ions and sulphate ions are naturally present in water/sediment. The hydrogen ions will contribute to local pH and are petentially mobile. Lead paste: This product contains inorganic lead compounds which are sparingly soluble and are expected to be adsorbed onto soils and sediments. Mobility is expected to be low. Mobility in soil No data available Other adverse effects 13.
