| SECTION 3: Hazards Identification | |
|---|---|
| Emergency Overview: | Irritating to skin, eyes and respiratory tract. May cause sensitization by skin contact. May cause cancer. Bromide exposure may cause central nervous system effects and skin rashes. |
| Primary Routes of Exposure: | Contact with skin and eyes. Inhalation of dust. |
| Eye Contact: | A mild irritant to the eyes. May cause sensitization by skin contact. |
| Skin Contact: | Causes slight to mild irritation of the skin. Prolonged contact with nickel salts may lead to dermatitis. |
| Inhalation: | Dust causes irritation to the respiratory tract; symptoms may include coughing and shortness of breath. |
| Ingestion: | Ingestion of nickel salts may lead to dizziness, abdominal cramps, vomiting, bloody diarrhea, weakness, and convulsions. |
| Acute Health Effects: | Irritating to skin, eyes and respiratory tract. May cause sensitization by skin contact. Bromides may cause skin rash, blurred vision, drowsiness, irritability, dizziness, mania, and coma. |
| Chronic Health Effects: | Prolonged exposure to nickel compounds may cause cancer. Prolonged exposure to bromides may cause skin rashes (bromaderma) and central nervous system depression, including, memory loss, irritability, and headache. |

| 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. |
