Lead (II) sulfate (PbSO4) is a white crystal or powder. It can also be know as white lead, fast white, milk white, sulphuric acid lead salt or anglistlite, and in British spelling as lead (II) sulphate.


It is used in car batteries.


Toxicology

Lead sulfate is toxic by inhalation, ingestion and skin contact. It is a cumulative poison, and repeated exposure may lead to anemia, kidney damage, eyesight damage or damage to the central nervous system (especially in children). Some lead salts may cause reproductive defects and cardiovascular disturbances. It is also corrosive - contact with eyes can lead to severe irritation or burns. Typical threshold limit value (above which the substance is harmful) is 0.15 mg/m³.


Mineral

The naturally occurring mineral anglesite, PbSO4, occurs as an oxidation product of primary lead sulfide ore, galena. Anglesite specimen in its orthorhombic crystalline form Anglesite is a lead sulfate mineral, PbSO4. ... Galena is a mineral, an ore of lead, lead sulfide (PbS). ...

Lead(II) sulfate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (189 words)
It is also known as white lead, fast white, milk white, sulphuric acid lead salt or anglistlite.
Lead sulfate is toxic by inhalation, ingestion and skin contact.
It is a cumulative poison, and repeated exposure may lead to anemia, kidney damage, eyesight damage or damage to the central nervous system (especially in children).
Lead - MSN Encarta (667 words)
Lead is toxic when taken internally; although ordinary water usually contains salts that form a coating on pipes, inhibiting the formation of soluble lead hydroxide, pipes used for carrying drinking water should not contain lead.
Lead is widely distributed all over the world in the form of its sulfide, the ore galena.
Lead is used in enormous quantities in storage batteries and in sheathing electric cables.
