Section VI鈥擧ealth Hazard Data
Route(s) of Entry Inhalation? Skin? Ingestion?
Yes Yes Yes
Health Hazards (Acute and Chronic)
May irritate skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. Essential trace minerals in safe
concentrations are not health hazards. Excessive ingestion of cobalt may depress red blood
cell production and cause nervous system effects.
Carcinogenicity NTP? IARC Monographs? OSHA Regulated?
No No No
Signs and Symptoms of Exposure
Prolonged contact may irritate (mild pain and redness) skin, eyes, and mucous membranes.
Prolonged inhalation may cause irritation of nose, mouth, & throat Excessive inhalation or
ingestion of trace minerals may lead to nausea and vomiting, nerve deafness, thyroid
hyperplasia, chest pains, congestive heart failure (cobalt).
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure
Respiratory problems, existing dermatitis
Emergency and First Aid Procedures
Wash skin and eyes with copious amounts of water. Rinse mouth and throat with water
repeatedly without swallowing. Seek medical attention if necessary.
Section VII鈥擯recautions for Safe Handling and Use
Steps to Be Taken in Case Material Is Released or Spilled

waste. Cover or contain material during transport.
Precautions to Be Taken in Handling and Storing
Store in dry location. Wear dust mask, goggles, and chemical resistant gloves to avoid
inhalation or contact.
Other Precautions
None
Section VII鈥擟ontrol Measures
