===================== Hazards Identification =====================
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:YES Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:YES IARC:YES OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ACUTE OVEREXP TO GASES, FUMES & DUSTS
MAY INCL IRRIT OF EYES, LUNGS, NOSE & THROAT. SOME TOX GASES ASSOC
W/WELDING MAY CAUSE PULM EDEMA, ASPHY & DEATH. ACUTE OVEREXP MAY
INCL SIGNS & SYMPS SUCH AS WAT ERY EYES, NOSE & THROAT IRRIT, HDCH,
DIZZ, DFCLTY BRTHG, FREQUENT COUGH OR CHEST PAIN. PRESENCE OF
NICKEL CMPDS IN FUME CAN CAUSE METALLIC TASTE, NAUS, TIGHTNESS OF
CHEST, FEVER & ALLERGIC RXN. CHRONI C OVEREXP TO AIR CONTAMINANTS
MAY LEAD TO THEIR ACCUM IN LUNGS, CNDTN WHICH MAY BE SEEN AS DENSE
AREAS ON CHEST X-RAYS. SEVERITY OF CHG IS PROPORTIONAL TO LENGTH OF
EXPOS. CHGS SEEN ARE NOT NECESSARIL Y (EFTS OF OVEREXP)
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NICKEL: IARC MONOGRAPHS, VOL 49, PG 257,
1990: GROUP 2B. NTP 8TH ANNUAL REPORT ON CARCINOGENS, 1998:
ANTICIPATED TO BE CARCINOGEN. SILICA, CRYSTALLINE-QUARTZ: IARC
MONOGRAPHS, VOL 68, PG 41, 1997:GROU P 1. NTP 8TH ANNUAL REPORT ON
CARCINOGENS, 1998:REASONABLY ANTICIPATED TO BE HUMAN CARCINOGEN.
Effects of Overexposure:HLTH HAZS: ASSOC W/SYMPS OR SIGNS OF REDUCED
LUNG FUNC/DISEASE. IN ADDN, CHGS ON X-RAYS MAY BE CAUSED BY
NON-WORK FACTORS SUCH AS SMKNG, ETC. NICKEL IS CONSIDERED CARCIN.
LONG TERM OVEREXP TO NICKEL F UMES MAY ALSO CAUSE PULM FIBROSIS &
EDEMA. OVEREXP TO MANGANESE CMPDS MAY AFFECT CNS, W/SYMPS OF
LANGUOR, SLEEPINESS, MUSC WEAK, EMOTIONAL DISTURBS & SPASTIC GAIT.
EXPOS LIMS FOR INGREDS ARE LISTED IN SECTION II. 1989 OSHA TWA FOR
WELDING FUME IS 5 MG/M3. TLV-TWAS SHOULD BE USED AS GUIDE IN CTL OF
HLTH HAZS & NOT AS FINE LINES BETWEEN SAFE & EXCESSIVE CONCS. WHEN
PRODS USED AS RECOM BY ESAB GROUP, & PREVENTIVE MEASURES TAUGHT
(SUPDAT)
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:INDIVIDUALS W/ALLERGIES OR IMPAIRED
RESP FUNC MAY HAVE SYMPS WORSENED BY EXPOS TO WELDING FUMES;
HOWEVER, SUCH REACTION CANNOT BE PREDICTED DUE TO VARIATION IN
COMPOSITION & QTY OF DECOMP PRODS.
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:INGESTION: CALL MD IMMEDIATELY . EYES: IMMEDIATELY FLUSH EYES
WITH POTABLE WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. SEEK ASSISTANCE FROM MD
. SKIN: FLUSH WITH COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF WATER. CALL MD (FP N ). IN
CASE OF EMERGENCY, CALL FOR MEDICAL AID. EMPLOY FIRST AID TECHNIQUE
RECOMMENDED BY RED CROSS. INHALATION: IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT,
GIVE OXYGEN AND CALL FOR MD. FOR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DISCONNECT A ND
TURN OFF THE POWER. IF NOT BREATHING, BEGIN ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION,
PREFERABLY MOUTH-TO-MOUTH. IF NO DETECTABLE PULSE, BEGIN CPR.
IMMEDIATELY CALL MD. FOR ARC BURN, APPLY COLD, CLEAN COMPRESSES & C
ALL MD.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Extinguishing Media:THIS PROD WILL NOT BURN; HOWEVER, WELDING ARCS &
SPKS CAN IGNITE COMBUST & FLAM MATLS. USE EXTING MEDIA RECOM FOR
BURNING MATLS & FIRE SITUATION. SEE ANSI Z49.1 (TOXICOLOGICAL INFO)
