Safety Statements about Lead(ii) thiocyanate (592-87-0):
S13 Keep away from food, drink and animal foodstuffs.
S45 In case of accident or if you feel unwell, seek medical advice immediately (show the label whenever possible.)
S53 Avoid exposure - obtain special instructions before use.
S60 This material and its container must be disposed of as hazardous waste.
S61 Avoid release to the environment. Refer to special instructions / safety data sheets.
Health Hazard: Early symptoms of lead intoxication via inhalation or ingestion are most commonly gastrointestinal disorders, colic, constipation, etc. ; weakness, which may go on to paralysis, chiefly of the extensor muscles of the wrists and less often of the ankles, is noticeable in the most serious cases. Ingestion of a laarge amount causes local irritation of the alimentary tract ; pain, leg cramps, muscle weakness, paresthesias, depression, coma, and death may follow in 1 or 2 days. Contact causes irritation of eyes and mild irritation of skin.

ACGIH TLV: TWA 0.15 mg(Pb)/m3
Lead(ii) thiocyanate Specification
Lead(ii) thiocyanate (592-87-0) is a chemical compound, more precisely a salt, with the chemical formula Pb(SCN)2.It may be made by reacting lead(II) acetate (Pb(CH3COO)2) solved in water with either potassium thiocyanate (KSCN) or ammonium thiocyanate (NH4SCN), thus causing precipitation of solid lead(II) thiocyanate.
Ion reaction as follows:
Pb2+(aq) + 2SCN-(aq) → Pb(SCN)2(s)
It is reasonably soluble at room temperature, thus it may be difficult to identify in a solution with low concentration of lead(II) thiocyanate. Although it has not been confirmed by other sources than the author of this article, experiments show that even if there is no precipitation of lead(II) thiocyanate in the solution, crystals of the salt may form.
