Highly toxic by all routes of exposure; cumulative poison.
Use eye and skin protection where splashes can occur. Use in a fume cupboard if practicable; otherwise use small quantities (< 10 mL or g) in a well-ventilated area.
Forms explosive mixtures with combustible materials (such as sulfur, phosphorus and metal powders) and with organic compounds.
Can be used to generate nitrogen dioxide by heating the solid; carry out this reaction on a small scale (<1 g) since nitrogen dioxide is highly toxic, as are any particles of lead salts released. Students should only carry out experiments with this salt under close supervision. Typically, student use should be limited to 5 mL of 0.1 M per activity per student/group activity. Used to test for anions, e.g. produces a bright yellow precipitate of lead iodide with sodium or potassium iodide.
