Lead dust can become airborne due to improper air flow or exhaust ventilation, which results in "puffing" of lead oxide at the mill inlet. Exposure may occur from handling lead pigs while loading the mill pots or the ball mill. Lead oxide dust may spill or leak from trunnion seals, bearing seals, conveying systems, and transfer points.
