From MSDS
Route Of Entry -
Inhalation: YES
Skin: NO
Ingestion: YES
Effects of Exposure:
Of primary concern is chronic overexposure to lead and cadmium. Their initial warning properties are poor. See Chronic Effects. Metal fumes and/or fluoride containing vapors from firing may cause lung inflammation and injury in terms of hours with symptoms of chest pains, chills, cough, headache, and diarrhea. Prolonged contact with frit dust can be very irritating to the eyes and/or skin. High dust levels can be irritating to the respiratory tract. With adequate ventilation, dust control, and good personal hygiene, symptoms of overexposure should not occur. Advise regular medical monitoring of employees by a physician competent in industrial health.
Medical Conditions Aggravated By Exposure: EYES, SKIN AND RESPIRATORY TRACT IRRITATION.
Hazard And Precautions: OVEREXPOSURE MAY CAUSE ENLARGEMENT OF THE LIVER, JAUNDICE AND KIDNEY DAMAGE. EYES: IRRITATION. INHALATION: IRRITATION OF THE UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT.

From MSDS
Prolonged or repeated inhalation and/or ingestion of lead containing frit dust may result in lead poisoning, with symptoms of weight loss, stomach cramps, loss of coordination and joint and muscle pain. Lead can cause kidney damage and delayed effects involving the blood, gastrointestinal, nervous, and reproductive systems. Excessive exposure to lead dusts during pregnancy can result in neurological disorders in infants.

Carcinogenicity -
In IARC Supplement 7, inorganic lead compounds are given a 2B rating which indicates "sufficient evidence" for carcinogenicity to animals and "inadequate evidence" for carcinogenicity to humans. NIOSH (Current Intelligence Bulletin 42, September 27, 1984) "recommends that cadmium and its compounds be considered as potential occupational carcinogens." Cadmium compounds are listed in IARC as suspected carcinogens.
California Proposition 65: WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
