Chrome Oxide (Cr2O3)
Cas # 1313-13-2
ACGIH: Not classifiable as a human carcinogen: Inadequate data on which to classify
the agent in terms of carcinogencity in humans/animals.
SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE:
Inhalation: Repeated prolonged exposure to trivalent compounds may cause delayed
effects involving the respiratory system.
Eye Contact: Mechanical irritation to the eye may occur such as watering, reddening
do to exposure to fines.
Skin Contact: Expected to be non irritating.
Ingestion: Considered to be non-irritating, non-toxic if swallowed.

Cobalt Oxide (Co 3O4) N/A
Cas # 1396-06-1
ACGIH: Animal carcinogen: Agent is carcinogenic in experimental animals at dose levels, by route(s) of
administration at site, or histologic type, or by mechanism considered relevant to workers exposure.
Available epidemiologis studies do not confirm an increased risk of cancer in humans except under
common levels of exposure.
SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE:
Inhalation: Prolonged inhalation of dust or metal dust, and fume or mist containing cobalt may
cause serious respiratory illness. May cause an irritation of respiratory organs of sensitive persons
resulting in obstruction of airways with shortness of breath.
Eye Contact: May cause serious eye irritation.
Skin Contact: Prolonged exposure may produce irritation
Ingestion: Large amounts may cause irritation of the gastrointestinal tract, nausea, vomiting and
diarrhea.

Iron Oxide (Fe2O3)
Cas # 1309-37-1
ACGIH: Not classifiable as a human carcinogen: Inadequate data on which to classify the agent in terms
of its carcinogencity in humans/animals. The value is for a particulate matter containing no asbestos and
1% crystalline silica.
SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE:
Inhalation: Repeated and prolonged exposure may cause beginnings Pneumoconiosis called
Sideordsis.
Eye Contact: May cause irritation.
Skin Contact: May cause mechanical skin irritation.
Ingestion: Expected to be non-toxic.

Nickel Oxide (NiO)
Cas # 7440-02-0
ACGIH: Inhalable fraction, the concentration of inhalable particulate for application of this TLV is to be
determined from the fraction passing a size-selector with characteristics defined in (A1). (A1) -
Confirmed human carcinogen: Agent is carcinogenic to humans based on epidemologic studies of, or
convincing clinical evidence, in exposed humans. (Ca) Carcinogen.
SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE:
Inhalation: Primary enters through inhalation of dust.
Eye Contact: May cause irritation in eyes and mucous membranes.
Skin contact: may irritate skin, can cause "Nickel Itch" in sensitive persons.
Ingestion: Low order of acute toxicity. May cause gastro-intestinal disorders.

Silica, Crystalline (SiO2)
Cas # 14808-60-7
SiO2 + 2
SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE:
Inhalation:
a) Prolonged exposure to respirable crystalline silica (quartz) can cause Silicosis, a
fibrosis (scarring) of the lungs. Silicosis may be progressive; it may lead to disability
and death. Silicosis increases risk of Tuberculosis.
b) Inhaled from occupational sources is classified as carcinogenic to humans. (cancer)
c) There is evidence that exposure to respirable crystalline silica or that the disease
Silicosis is associated with increased incidence of Sceroderma, an auto-immune
disorder manifested by fibrosis (scarring) of the skin and internal organs.
d) Thjere are several studies suggesting that exposure to respirable silica or that the
disease Silicosis is associated with the increased incidence of kidney disorders.
(Nephrotoxicity)
Eye Contact: May cause abrasions of the cornea.
Skin Contact: Not applicable
Ingestion: Not applicable

Tin Oxide (SnO)
Cas # 21651-19-4
SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE:
Inhalation: No information found on acute overexposure. Chronic exposure to tin
oside fumes or dust may result in Stannosis a form of Phenumoconiosis.
Eye Contact: Abrasive, mild irritant
Skin Contact: Possible irritant.
Ingestion: Considered non-toxic.
SECTION 5: Emergency and First Aid Procedures
Eye: flush thoroughly with water for 15 minutes.
Skin: remove contaminated clothing, wash thoroughly with soap and water.
Inhalation: remove to fresh air, may give oxygen if needed.
Ingestion: give large amounts of water to induce vomiting, only in conscious persons.
IF THESE FIRST AID MEASURES FAIL, CONSULT A PHYSICIAN
