SECTION 3: Hazards Identification
Emergency Overview: Irritating to skin, eyes and mucous membranes. May cause sensitization by skin contact. May cause cancer. Possible risk of irreversible effects and harm to the unborn child.
Primary Routes of Exposure: (as a dust) Skin and Eyes. Dust inhalation
Eye Contact: (As fine dust) May cause slight to mild irritation of the eyes.
Skin Contact: Dust may cause slight to mild irritation of the skin, and dermatitis in sensitive individuals.
Inhalation: Dust may be irritating to the nose, mucous membranes and respiratory tract.
Ingestion: Repeated ingestion of dust has produced fibrosis of the lungs and thorax in animal studies. May cause vomiting and diarrhea
Acute Health Effects: May be irritating to skin, eyes and respiratory tract. May cause sensitization by skin contact. Possible risk of harm to the unborn child.
Chronic Health Effects: Prolonged exposure to nickel and nickel compounds may lead to skin irritation and dermatitis. May cause cancer. Possible risk of irreversible effects.
NTP: Yes
IARC: Yes
OSHA: No
SECTION 4: First Aid Measures
Eye Exposure: (For dust) Immediately flush the eyes with copious amounts of water for at least 10-15 minutes. A victim may need assistance in keeping their eye lids open. Get immediate medical attention.
Skin Exposure: The material is in the form of a metal foil. Skin exposure is not an issue.
Inhalation: (For dust) Remove the victim to fresh air. Closely monitor the victim for signs of respiratory problems, such as difficulty in breathing, coughing, wheezing, or pain. In such cases seek immediate medical assistance.
Ingestion: The material is in the form of a metal foil. Ingestion is an unlikely occurrence.
