Section VI - HEALTH HAZARD DATA
THE BODY CAN BE AFFECTED IF FUMES AND GASES ARE INHALED, AND/OR COME INTO CONTACT WITH EYES.
FUMES AND GASES CAN BE DANGEROUS TO YOUR HEALTH
SHORT TERM (ACUTE) OVER EXPOSURE TO WELDING FUMES
May result in discomfort such as dizziness, nausea or irritation of the nose, throat or eyes.
FLUORIDES - Compounds evolved may cause skin and eye burns and/or pulmonary edema.
MANGANESE, MANGANESE DIOXIDE
Toxicity caused by inhalation of dust or fumes. Remove from exposure. Wash eyes and/or skin with water to
remove dust.
SILICON, SILICON OXIDE
Possible eye irritant. Remove by washing eyes with lots of water.
CHROMIUM
Inhalation of fume with chromium (VI) compounds can cause irritation of the respiratory system, damage lungs and
cause asthma. Swallowing chromium (VI) salts can cause severe injury or death. Dusts on the skin can form ulcers.
Eyes can be burned by chromium (VI) compounds.
NICKEL, NICKEL OXIDE
Inhalation of fumes containing nickel compounds may cause metallic taste, nausea, tightness in chest, fever and
allergic reactions.
MOLYBDENUM
Trioxide has caused irritation of the eyes, nose and throat, weight loss and digestive disturbances in animals.
BARIUM
Inhalation of fumes with barium compounds may cause aching eyes, rhinitis, frontal headache, wheezing, laryngeal
spasms, salivation and anorexia.
COPPER
Metal fume fever can be caused by fresh copper oxide fumes.
LEAD
Inhalation of gases, fumes, dust or compounds (soluble or insoluble) can cause blood and cell problems.
SILVER
Silver salts are corrosive. Ulceration and eye burns are treated by flushing with copious amounts of water.
ZINC
Inhalation of zinc fumes may cause chills, breathing difficulties, fever, cough, muscular pain, nausea and vomiting.
Recovery is generally complete.
CADMIUM
Fumes cause irritation of the nose and throat. Sufficient inhalation (after a delay of several hours) may develop
coughing, chest pain, sweating, chills, shortness of breath and weakness. Death may occur.
TIN
Eye, skin and respiratory system irritation from fumes.

LONG TERM (CHRONIC) OVER EXPOSURE TO WELDING FUMES
May lead to siderosis (iron deposits in lungs), affect pulmonary functions, blood and cell disorders.
FLUORIDES
Repeated exposure to fluorides can cause serious bone erosion.
MANGANESE, MANGANESE DIOXIDE
Long term over exposure to these compounds may affect the central nervous system. Symptoms include muscular
weakness, tremors and behavioral and handwriting changes.
SILICON, SILICON OXIDE
Prolonged exposure to dust can cause pulmonary fibrosis (silicosis).
CHROMIUM
Chromium (VI) compounds are considered by OSHA to be carcinogenic. Absorption of chromium (VI) compounds
through the skin can cause systemic poisoning primarily affecting the kidneys and liver.
NICKEL, NICKEL OXIDE
Long term over exposure to nickel compounds may cause lung fibrosis or pneumoconiosis. Nickel and its
compounds are considered by the OSHA as carcinogenic.
MOLYBDENUM - Not known
BARIUM
Long term exposure to soluble barium compounds may cause nervous disorders and may have deleterious effects on
the heart and circulatory systems.
COPPER
No adverse long term effects have been reported.
LEAD
Repeated and prolonged exposures to gases, fumes or dusts are poisonous. This may lead to blood, cell, kidney,
liver and/or generic disorders.
SILVER
Silver and its compounds cause pigmentation of the skin, eyes and respiratory tract (argyria).
ZINC
Severe and prolonged over exposure may cause pulmonary edema and pneumonia.
CADMIUM
Repeated and prolonged exposures to fumes may cause loss of smell, ulceration of the nose, shortness of breath
(emphysema),kidney damage and mild anemia.
TIN
No significant long term effects.

Section VII - EMERGENCY FIRST AID
Remove victim to well ventilated area. Obtain medical assistance and apply artificial respiration if necessary.
Section VIII - PREVENTIVE MEASURES
Personal protective equipment: Use NIOSH approved respirator for protection against fumes in confined areas or
where local exhaust or ventilation does not keep exposure below the recommended exposure limit. Wear protective
helmet or use face shield with filter lens. Provide protective screens and flash goggles if necessary. Refer to CSA
W117.2 - Safety in Welding and Cutting - for further information.
Storage and handling: Keep in cool dry place.
Steps to be taken if material is released or spilled: Electrodes, themselves are not hazardous.
Waste Disposal Method: Prevent waste from contaminating environment. Disposal should be in accordance with
local, provincial and federal regulations.
