| SECTION 3: Hazards Identification | |
|---|---|
| Emergency Overview: | May cause sensitization by skin contact. Possible harm to the unborn child and possible risk of irreversible effects. May cause cancer. |
| Primary Routes of Exposure: | Contact with skin and eyes. Dust inhalation. |
| Eye Contact: | May cause slight to mild irritation of the eyes. |
| Skin Contact: | May cause slight to moderate irritation of the skin. May cause sensitization by skin contact. Thermal burns may occur upon ignition. |
| Inhalation: | Dust or fumes may be irritating to the nose, mucous membranes and respiratory tract. Individuals hypersensitive to nickel may develop wheezing. |
| Ingestion: | Harmful if swallowed. Ingestion of large amounts may cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, vomiting and headache. |
| Acute Health Effects: | May cause sensitization by skin contact. May be irritating to skin, eyes and respiratory tract. |
| Chronic Health Effects: | Possible harm to the unborn child and possible risk of irreversible effects. May cause cancer. (Animal studies with nickel powder surgically instilled or implanted for long periods in lungs, trachea, under skin, - see NTP and IARC discussions) |
| NTP: | Yes |
| IARC: | Yes |
| OSHA: | No |
| SECTION 4: First Aid Measures | |
|---|---|
| Eye Exposure: | 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: | Wash the affected area with water. Remove contaminated clothes if necessary. Seek medical assistance if irritation persists. |
| Inhalation: | 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: | Seek medical attention immediately. Keep the victim calm. Give the victim water (only if conscious). Induce vomiting only if directed by medical personnel. |
