**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Spontaneously flammable in air. Limited evidence of a carcinogenic
effect. May cause sensitization by skin contact. May cause cancer by
inhalation.Cancer suspect agent.The toxicological properties of this
material have not been fully investigated.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause eye irritation. Causes redness and pain.
Skin:
May cause skin irritation. May cause skin sensitization, an allergic
reaction, which becomes evident upon re-exposure to this material.
Causes "nickel itch" which is a dermatitis resulting from
sensitization to nickel, which is characterized by skin eruptions,
followed by discrete ulcers that may discharge and become crusted, or
by eczema.
Ingestion:
May cause irritation of the digestive tract. May cause liver and
kidney damage. The toxicological properties of this substance have
not been fully investigated. May cause tremors and convulsions. May
cause central nervous system effects. Ingestion of large amounts may
cause gastroenteritis. May be harmful if swallowed. May cause cardiac
effects such as heart blocks, arrhythmias, shock and possible death
due to cardiovascular collapse.
Inhalation:
May cause respiratory tract irritation. May cause liver and kidney
damage. May cause asthmatic attacks due to allergic sensitization of
the respiratory tract. Inhalation of fumes may cause metal fume
fever, which is characterized by flu-like symptoms with metallic
taste, fever, chills, cough, weakness, chest pain, muscle pain and
increased white blood cell count. The toxicological properties of
this substance have not been fully investigated. May cause anosmia
(loss of smell). May cause asthma and shortness of breath. May be
harmful if inhaled. May cause cardiac abnormalities.
Chronic:
May cause liver and kidney damage. Effects may be delayed. Symptoms
of overexposure to nickel can cause sensitization, dermatitis,
allergic asthma and pneumonitis. Cancer suspect agent.
**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****
Eyes:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes,
occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid.
Skin:
Get medical aid immediately. Immediately flush skin with plenty of
water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing
and shoes.
Ingestion:
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical
aid immediately. Do NOT induce vomiting. If conscious and alert,
rinse mouth and drink 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. Wash mouth out
with water.
Inhalation:
Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If breathing
is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid. Do NOT use mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation. If breathing has ceased apply artificial respiration
using oxygen and a suitable mechanical device such as a bag and a
mask.
Notes to Physician:
**** SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES ****
General Information:
As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in
pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full
protective gear. Material can spontaneously ignite (pyrophoric) when
exposed to air at normal or slightly elevated temperatures. During a
fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal
decomposition or combustion. This material in sufficient quantity
and reduced particle size is capable of creating a dust explosion.
Runoff from fire control or dilution water may cause pollution.
Extinguishing Media:
Use agent most appropriate to extinguish fire. For large fires, use
dry sand, dry chemical, soda ash or lime or withdraw from area and
let fire burn. For small fires, use dry chemical, soda ash, lime or
dry sand. Do NOT use water, CO2, or halogenated extinguishers. Use
dry chemical extinguishing agents, dry sand or dry ground dolomite.
**** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective
Equipment section. Sweep up or absorb material, then place into a
suitable clean, dry, closed container for disposal. Avoid generating
dusty conditions. Provide ventilation. This material is a water
pollutant and should not be emptied into drains.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Minimize dust generation and
accumulation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Do not
breathe dust, vapor, mist, or gas. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on
clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid ingestion and
inhalation. Use only in a chemical fume hood.
Storage:
Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry,
well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.
Flammables-area. Isolate from oxidizing materials and acids.
**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****
Engineering Controls:
Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped
with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate
ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low. Use only under a
chemical fume hood.
