2. White leadWhite lead is the chemical compound (PbCO3)2·Pb(OH)2. It is a complex chemical compound, containing both a carbonate and a hydroxide portion. It was formerly used as an ingredient for lead paint and a cosmetic called Venetian Ceruse, because its opaque quality and the satiny smooth mixture it made with driable oils it made a good pigment. However, it tended to cause lead poisoning, and its use has been banned in most countries.
