IARC: NO
OSHA: NO
Effects of Exposure: EYES: CAN CAUSE IRRITATION. SKIN: CAN CAUSE IRRITATION.
INHALATION: REPEATED AND PROLONGED EXPOSURES TO TRIVALENT CHROMIUM COMPOUNDS
MAY CAUSE DELAYED EFFECTS INVOLVING THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM. INGESTI ON: NOT
AVAILABLE. CHRONIC: TRIVALENT CHROMIUM COMPOUNDS MAY CAUSE CHRONIC EFFECTS
INVOLVING THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM. ACUTE OVEREXPOSURE: SHORT-TERM INHALATION
OF LARGE AMOUNTS OF RARE EARTH COMPOUNDS CAN CAUSE DISCOMFORT, COUGHING,
NASAL DISCHARGE, AND OTHER SYMPTOMS SIMILAR TO THOSE OF A BAD COLD. DRYING OF
THE MUCOUS MEMBRANES MIGHT ALSO BE EXPERIENCED. (EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE)

CARCINOGENS, 1998: KNOWN TO BE HUMAN CARCINOGEN. THORIUM OXIDE: NTP 8TH
ANNUAL REPORT ON CARCINOGENS, 1998: KNOWN TO BE HUMAN CARCINOGEN. ANIMAL:
EYE, LIVER, SKIN, THYROID TUMORS.
Signs And Symptions Of Overexposure: HEALTH HAZARDS: LEAD APPEARS ON THE NAVY
OCCUPATIONAL CHEMICAL REPRODUCTIVE HAZARDS LIST. SEEK CONSULTATION FROM
APPROPRIATE HEALTH PROFESSIONALS CONCERNING LATEST HAZARD LIST INFORMATION
AND SAFE HAN DLING AND EXPOSURE INFORMATION (FP N).
Medical Cond Aggravated By Exposure: NOT AVAILABLE.
First Aid: EYES: FLUSH EYES WITH GENEROUS AMOUNTS OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15
MINUTES. CALL A PHYSICIAN. SKIN: WASH WITH MILD SOAP AND WATER. REMOVE
CONTAMINATED CLOTHING. IF IRRITATION DEVELOPS, CONSULT A PHYSICIA N.
INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. CALLA PHYSICIAN. INGESTION: IF THE PATIENT
IS CONSCIOUS, GIVE LARGE QUANTITIES OF WATER TO INDUCE VOMITING. GET MEDICAL
ATTENTION.
=======================================================
