**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Harmful by inhalation and if swallowed.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye irritation. May cause conjunctivitis.
Skin:
Causes skin irritation. Chronic exposure may cause dizziness, dry
throat, sleepiness, anorexia, and nausea. Chronic inhalation may
result in liver, kidney, and cardiac changes.
Ingestion:
May cause severe digestive tract irritation with abdominal pain,
nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
Inhalation:
Dust is irritating to 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.
Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis. Chronic
exposure may cause dizziness, dry throat, sleepiness, anorexia, and
nausea. Chronic inhalation may result in liver, kidney, and cardiac
changes.
**** 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. Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Ingestion:
If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical
aid.
Inhalation:
Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not
breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult,
give oxygen. Get medical aid.
Notes to Physician:
Antidote:
The use of Dimercaprol or BAL (British Anti-Lewisite) as a chelating
agent should be determined by qualified medical personnel.
**** 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 will burn in a fire. Dust can be an
explosion hazard when exposed to heat or flame. Bulk metal is
combustible in air at high temperatures.
Extinguishing Media:
DO NOT USE WATER, CO2, OR FOAM DIRECTLY ON FIRE ITSELF. Use dry
sand, graphite powder, dry sodium chloride-based extinguishers.
**** 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. Avoid generating dusty conditions.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Use with adequate ventilation. Minimize dust generation and
accumulation. Avoid contact with eyes. Keep away from heat, sparks
and flame. Avoid ingestion and inhalation.
Storage:
Keep away from heat and flame. Do not store in direct sunlight.
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible
substances. Tarnishes in moist air.
**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****
Engineering Controls:
Use adequate general or local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne
concentrations below the permissible exposure limits.

respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or if
irritation or other symptoms are experienced.
