**** 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.Air sensitive.Possible risks of
irreversible effects.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause eye irritation. May cause redness, pain, blurred vision
and possible eye damage.
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 gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and
diarrhea. May cause liver and kidney damage. May cause cardiac
disturbances. May cause central nervous system effects. Ingestion of
large amounts may cause gastroenteritis. Ingestion of large amounts
may cause convulsions, tremors, muscular contractions or spasticity,
diarrhea, or fever.
Inhalation:
May cause liver and kidney damage. May cause irritation of the
respiratory tract with burning pain in the nose and throat, coughing,
wheezing, shortness of breath and pulmonary edema. 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. May cause anosmia (loss of smell). May cause
cardiac abnormalities. Inhalation at high concentrations may cause
CNS depression and asphixiation.
Chronic:
May cause liver and kidney damage. May cause cancer according to
animal studies. Symptoms of overexposure to nickel can cause
sensitization, dermatitis, allergic asthma and pneumonitis.
**** 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
immediately.
Skin:
Get medical aid immediately. Immediately flush skin with plenty of
water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing
and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse.
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.
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:
Treat symptomatically and supportively.
**** 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. Dusts at sufficient concentrations can form
explosive mixtures with air. Material can spontaneously ignite
(pyrophoric) when exposed to air at normal or slightly elevated
temperatures. Combustion generates toxic fumes. Use water spray to
keep fire-exposed containers cool. This material in sufficient
quantity and reduced particle size is capable of creating a dust
explosion. May re-ignite after fire is extinguished. Containers may
explode when heated. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may
cause pollution.
Extinguishing Media:
Use dry sand, Met-L-X powder, or G-1 graphite powder. Do NOT use
water, carbon dioxide, or foam. Cool containers with flooding
quantities of water until well after fire is out.
**** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable disposal
container. Wear a self contained breathing apparatus and appropriate
personal protection. (See Exposure Controls, Personal Protection
section). Avoid generating dusty conditions. Remove all sources of
ignition. Isolate area and deny entry. Provide ventilation.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Do not breathe dust,
vapor, mist, or gas. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing.
Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Avoid ingestion and
inhalation. Use only in a chemical fume hood.
Storage:
Store in a cool, dry place. Store in a tightly closed container.
Keep under a nitrogen blanket. Flammables-area.
**** 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.
