MATERIAL OVERVIEW

Characteristics: Heavy, ductile, soft gray solid. Soluble in dilute nitric acid, insoluble in water but dissolves slowly in water containing a weak acid, resists corrosion and is relatively impenetrable to radiation. Poor electrical conductor; good sound and vibration absorber. Noncombustible.

Hazards: Toxic by ingestion and inhalation of dust or fume. Tolerance (as Pb), (fumes and dusts, and inorganic compounds) 0.15 mg/m3 of air. For ambient air the EPA standard is 1.5 ug/m3. A cumulative poison. FDA regulations require zero lead content in foods and limit lead content in house paints to .05%.
