2. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW : EXPLOSIVE. KEEP AWAY FROM HEAT. DO NOT SUBJECT TO MECHANICAL SHOCK.
PARTICLES FROM FIRING MAY BE HARMFUL IF INHALED. DO NOT TAKE INTERNALLY.
Class 6 Explosive
EU Classifications:
Hazard Symbols E, T, N
Risk Phrases R2: Risk of explosion by shock, friction, fire or other sources of ignition
R45 (Category 1): May cause cancer
R48: Danger of serious damage to health by prolonged exposure
R60/61 (Category 1): May impair fertility or cause harm to the unborn child
R63: Possible risk of harm to the unborn child
R64: May cause harm to breast-fed children
R51/53: Toxic to aquatic organisms and many cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic
environment
Safety Phrases S2: Keep out of reach of children
S15: Keep away from heat
S20/21: When using do not eat, drink or smoke
S23: Do not breathe fumes
S39: Wear eye/face protection
S43: In case of fire, use Class A equipment
S51: Use only in well-ventilated areas
S61: Avoid release to the environment
This product is composed of a finished metal alloy cartridge which contains the various components completely sealed within.
Therefore, under normal handling of this product, no exposure to any harmful materials will occur. When the ammunition is fired, a
small amount of particles may be generated which may be slightly irritating to the eyes and the respiratory tract. The particles may
contain trace amounts of these harmful substances:
Lead: Ingestion of large amounts of lead can cause abdominal pain, constipation, cramps, nausea and/or vomiting. Chronic
exposure to lead can cause kidney damage, anemia, reproductive effects, developmental effects and permanent nervous system
damage in humans including changes in cognitive function. Occupational exposure to lead is associated with lung and stomach
cancer. Lead is classified as a probable human carcinogen.
Nitroglycerin: Will produce dilation of blood vessels and drop in blood pressure which may affect the heart. It has also been shown to
cause methemoglobinemia (cyanosis).
Copper: Inhalation of high concentrations of metallic copper dusts or fumes may cause nasal irritation and/or nausea, vomiting and
stomach pain.
It is unlikely that the amount of particles that someone would be exposed to from firing a loaded round would be sufficient to cause
any of these effects.
Eye Contact: Immediately flush out fume or particles with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting
the upper and lower eyelids. If eye irritation develops, call a physician at once.
Skin Contact: Wash skin with plenty of soap and water.
Inhalation: If symptoms of lung irritation occur (coughing, wheezing or breathing difficulty), remove from exposure area to
fresh air immediately. If breathing has stopped, perform artificial respiration. Keep affected person warm and at
rest. Get medical attention.
Ingestion: If ingested, immediately call a physician.
Recommendations To Physcians:
Remove from exposure, if possible, and treat symptoms
Special Firefighting Procedures: Do not fight fire when fire reaches cargo. Cargo may explode.
Isolate materials not yet involved in the fire. Move containers from fire area if
possible; otherwise, cool with carefully applied water spray.
Prevent runoff water from entering storm drains, bodies of water, or other
environmentally sensitive areas, if practical.
Flammability
HEALTH HAZARD (BLUE) 0*
Spill Response: A spill of this material will normally not require emergency response team capabilities. If,
however, a large spill occurs, call 1-888-289-1911 for technical assistance.
Accidental Release Procedures: Spills of this material should be handled carefully. Do not subject materials to mechanical
shock. Collect material and place in a designated, labeled waste container. See Section 13 for
waste disposal.
Precautions for Safe Handling: Use appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8). Workers should
wash thoroughly after handling. Eating, drinking and smoking should be
prohibited in areas where this material is handled and stored.
Conditions for Safe Storage: Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in original containers in a cool,
dry location away from Acids, Class A & B explosives, strong oxidizers, and
caustics. Avoid mechanical impact or shock and electrical discharge.
Control parameters:
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation is recommended if significant dusting occurs or fumes are generated.
Otherwise, use general exhaust ventilation.
Respiratory Protection: Not normally needed. Maintain airborne contaminant concentrations below guidelines listed above.
Use an appropriate approved air-purifying respirator equipped with HEPA cartridges/canisters where
there is the potential for exceeding established occupational exposure limits.
Eye/Face Protection: Use safety glasses.
Hand Protection: Not normally needed
Skin Protection: Not normally needed.
Hearing Protection: Not normally needed. During firing use hearing protection.
General Hygiene: Do not eat, drink, or smoke while using this product. Wash hands thoroughly after use.
The physical nature of this product makes absorption from any route unlikely. A small amount of inhalable particles may be created
when cartridge is fired.
Target Organ Toxicity: No reported target organ toxicity from this product. Lead has caused nervous
system, kidney and hematopoietic system damage in humans and laboratory
animals.
Reproductive Toxicity: This product is not known or reported to cause reproductive effects. Lead has
been shown to reduce male reproductive function in humans and laboratory
animals.
Teratogenicity (Birth Defects): This product is not known or reported to cause developmental toxicity. Lead has
been shown to affect fetal development including birth defects.
Mutagenicity: This product is not known or reported to be mutagenic. Lead has been shown to be
mutagenic in several in vitro assays.
Carcinogenicity: IARC and US EPA list lead and lead compounds as probable human carcinogens
(Group 2A) based on sufficient evidence from animal studies and limited evidence
from human studies (epidemiology). NTP classifies lead and lead compounds as
reasonably anticipated to be human carcinogens.
Environmental Effects:
PRODUCT: Product has not been tested for environmental properties. Lead shot has been shown to be toxic to aquatic species.
COMPONENTS:
Copper: Copper concentrations from 0.1 to 1.0 mg/l have been found to be not toxic for
most fish. However, concentrations of 0.015 to 3.0 mg/l have been reported as
toxic, particularly in soft water to many kinds of fish, crustacea, mollusks,
insects, and plankton.
Lead: LC 50 (48 hrs.) to bluegill is reported to be 2-5 mg/l. Lead is toxic to
waterfowl.
Nitrocellulose: LC50 > 1000 mg/l to fish, invertebrates, and algae.
Nitroglycerin: LC50 = 1.228 mg/l to Bluegill, (96 hour, static)
Zinc: The following concentrations of zinc have been reported as lethal to fish: 0.13
mg/l, for 12 – 24 hours to Rainbow trout fingerlings; 1.9 – 3.6 mg/l, 6 hr TLM
(soft water, 30°C) to Bluegill Sunfish; 4 mg/l, 3 days (hard water) to Rainbow
trout; 1 mg/l, 24 hours (soft water) to Sticklebacks.
The presence of copper appears to have a synergistic effect on the toxicity of
zinc towards fish.
Environmental Fate:
MOBILITY: Dissolved lead from degraded bullets may migrate through soil.
PERSISTANCE/DEGRADABILITY: Not biodegradable. Bullets may fragment and decompose in soil leading to accumulation
of lead.
BIOACCUMULATION: No data
Care must be taken to prevent environmental contamination from the use of this material. The user of this material has the responsibility
to dispose of unused material, residues and containers in compliance with all relevant local, state and federal laws and regulations
regarding the treatment, storage and disposal for hazardous and nonhazardous wastes.
