Safe handling

Wear protective gloves and clothing to prevent any reasonable probability of skin contact... Contact lenses should not be worn when working with this chemical. Wear dust-proof chemical goggles and face shield unless full facepiece respiratory protection is worn... Wash immediately with soap when skin is wet or contaminated. Provide emergency showers and eyewash. Wear appropriate personal protective clothing to prevent skin contact. /Lead/

Storage

Lead iodide must be stored to avoid contact with oxidizers (such as perchlorates, peroxides, permanganates, chlorates, and nitrates) and chemically active metals (such as potassium, sodium, magnesium, and zinc) since violent reactions occur. A regulated, marked area should be established where this chemical is handled, use or stored... Protect from light.

Disposal

Generators of waste (equal to or greater than 100 kg/mo) containing this contaminant, EPA hazardous waste number D008, must conform with USEPA regulations in storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of waste. /Lead/

Exposure limits and toxicity

Occupational exposure limits and toxicity data

ACGIH TLV
8 hr Time Weighted Avg (TWA): 0.05 mg/cu m. /Lead and inorganic compounds, as Pb/
IDLH
100 mg/cu m /Lead/

Early symptoms of lead intoxication via inhalation or ingestion are most commonly gastrointestinal disorders, colic, constipation, etc., weakness, which may go on to paralysis, chiefly of the extensor muscles of the wrists and less often the ankles, is noticeable in the most serious cases. Ingestion of a large amount causes local irritation of the alimentary tract. Pain, leg cramps, muscle weakness, paresthesias, depression, coma, and death may follow in 1 or 2 days. Contact with eyes causes irritation.
