Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:YES OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:TARGET ORGANS: BLOOD, CENTRAL NERVOUS
SYSTEM. EYE: SEVERE IRRITATION, AND POSSIBLE EYE BURNS. VAPORS MAY
CAUSE EYE IRRITATION. SKIN: MAY CAUSE IRRITATION. MAY BE ABSORBED
THROUGH SKIN IN HARMFUL AMOUN TS. MAY CAUSE SKIN SENSITIZATION, AN
ALLERGIC REACTION. WHICH BECOMES EVIDENT UPON RE-EXPOSURE TO THIS
MATERIAL. INGESTION: MAY CAUSE GI IRRITATION. INHALATION: CAUSES
RESPIRATORY TRACT IRRITATION. IN HALATION OF FUMES MAY CAUSE METAL
FUME FEVER. CHRONIC:MAY CAUSE PERMANENT CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
DAMAGE, FATIGUE, WEIGHT LOSS, TREMORS, PERSONALITY CHANGES.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:ACGIH: A4-NOT CLASSIFIABLE AS A HUMAN
CARCINOGEN. IARC: GROUP 3 CARCINOGEN. (LISTED AS MERCURY, ARYL AND
INORGANIC).
Effects of Overexposure:INHALATION: CAUSE SEVERE RESPIRATORY TRACT
