Carcinogenicity (IARC, NTP)
According to OSHA, nickel is treated as a potential carcinogen for hazard communication purposes because it is included in the NTP and IARC lists
on potential human carcinogens. Some scientific studies have found an excess incidence of cancer of the respiratory tract among workers involved
in certain steps of certain nickel refining processes, However several reliable studies of workers exposed to various forms of nickel and its
compounds have not shown any increased risk of cancer.

8. Exposure Control/Personal Protection
Ventilation Other Engineering Controls
If solid forms of nickel are converted to dusts or fumes, working NA
environment should be maintained below the recommended exposure
limits (section II) by use of appropriate ventilation.
Routes of Entry: Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for Normal Use: PPE for Emergencies:
Eye/Face Use safety glasses. NA
Skin Use of protective gloves (leather or rubber) is recommended. NA
Inhalation If solid nickel forms are converted in manufacturing process to dust of NA
fumes and ventilation is not adequate to maintain nickel concentrations
below recommended exposure limits (Section II), then respiratory
protection should be used. NIOSH approved respirators according to
OSHA CFR 1919. 134 are recommended.
