The IDLH for this product is not known. The IDLH for copper and lead is 100 mg/m3. The IDLH for nitroglycerin is 75 mg/m3.
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.
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.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: There are no medical conditions known to be aggravated by exposure to this product in its solid form. Exposure to lead can aggravate anemia, cardiovascular and respiratory disease.
POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS: Product has not been tested for environmental properties. Lead shot has been shown to be toxic to aquatic species.

4. FIRST AID MEASURES
EYE CONTACT:
SKIN CONTACT: INHALATION:
INGESTION:
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.
Wash skin with plenty of soap and water.
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.

12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Lead has caused blood, kidney and nervous system damage in laboratory animals. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) lists lead as possibly carcinogenic to humans, group 2B.
This product is not known or reported to be mutagenic. Lead has been shown to be mutagenic in several in vitro assays.
This product is not known or reported to cause reproductive or developmental effects. Lead has been shown to affect fetal development including birth defects and reduce male reproductive function in laboratory animals.
This product is not known or reported to cause neurological effects. Lead has caused peripheral and central nervous system damage and behavioral effects in laboratory animals.
None known or reported.
ECOTOXICITY: No data is available on this product. Individual constituents are as follows:
Copper: The toxicity of copper to aquatic organisms varies significantly not only with the species, but also with the physical and chemical characteristics of the water, such as its temperature, hardness, turbidity and carbon dioxide content. Copper concentration varying from 0.1 to 1.0 mg/l have been found by various investigators to be not toxic
MSDS No.: 000050.0001
Page 5 of 6
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 (Lepomis macrochirus) is reported to be 2-5 mg/l. Nitrocellulose: LC50 > 1000 mg/l (fish, invertebrates, algae)
Nitroglycerin: Bluegill, 96 hour LC50 = 1.228 mg/l (static)
Zinc: The following concentrations of zinc have been reported as lethal to fish:
Rainbow trout fingerlings: 0.13 mg/l, 12 – 24 hours
Bluegill sunfish: 6 hr TLM = 1.9 – 3.6 mg/l (soft water, 30°C) Rainbow trout: 4 mg/l (hard water) 3 days
Sticklebacks: 1 mg/l (soft water) 24 hrs
Lead is toxic to waterfowl.
The presence of copper appears to have a synergistic effect on the toxicity of zinc towards fish. Dissolved lead from degraded bullets may migrate through soil.
MOBILITY:
PERSISTANCE/DEGRADABILITY: Not biodegradable. Bullets may fragment and decompose in soil leading to accumulation of lead. BIOACCUMULATION: No data
13. DISPOSALCONSIDERATIONS
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 treatment, storage and disposal for hazardous and nonhazardous wastes.

The IDLH for this product is not known. The IDLH for copper and lead is 100 mg/m3. The IDLH for nitroglycerin is 75 mg/m3.
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.
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.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: There are no medical conditions known to be aggravated by exposure to this product in its solid form. Exposure to lead can aggravate anemia, cardiovascular and respiratory disease.
POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS: Product has not been tested for environmental properties. Lead shot has been shown to be toxic to aquatic species.

None known or reported.
ECOTOXICITY: No data is available on this product. Individual constituents are as follows:
Copper: The toxicity of copper to aquatic organisms varies significantly not only with the species, but also with the physical and chemical characteristics of the water, such as its temperature, hardness, turbidity and carbon dioxide content. Copper concentration varying from 0.1 to 1.0 mg/l have been found by various investigators to be not toxic
MSDS No.: 000050.0001
Page 5 of 6
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 (Lepomis macrochirus) is reported to be 2-5 mg/l. Nitrocellulose: LC50 > 1000 mg/l (fish, invertebrates, algae)
Nitroglycerin: Bluegill, 96 hour LC50 = 1.228 mg/l (static)
Zinc: The following concentrations of zinc have been reported as lethal to fish:
Rainbow trout fingerlings: 0.13 mg/l, 12 – 24 hours
Bluegill sunfish: 6 hr TLM = 1.9 – 3.6 mg/l (soft water, 30°C) Rainbow trout: 4 mg/l (hard water) 3 days
Sticklebacks: 1 mg/l (soft water) 24 hrs
Lead is toxic to waterfowl.
The presence of copper appears to have a synergistic effect on the toxicity of zinc towards fish. Dissolved lead from degraded bullets may migrate through soil.
MOBILITY:
PERSISTANCE/DEGRADABILITY: Not biodegradable. Bullets may fragment and decompose in soil leading to accumulation of lead. BIOACCUMULATION: No data
