| SECTION 3: Hazards Identification | |
|---|---|
| Emergency Overview: | Irritating to skin, eyes and respiratory tract. May cause sensitization by inhalation and skin contact. May cause cancer. Possible risk of irreversible effects. |
| Primary Routes of Exposure: | Contact with skin and eyes. Inhalation of dust. |
| Eye Contact: | Causes irritation and serious eye damage. Effects may not immediately appear. |
| Skin Contact: | Causes irritation, with delayed redness and pain. May cause sensitization by skin contact. |
| Inhalation: | Inhalation will cause severe irritation to the respiratory tract. May cause sensitization by inhalation. |
| Ingestion: | May cause salivation, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. |
| Acute Health Effects: | Irritating to skin, eyes and respiratory tract. May cause sensitization by inhalation and skin contact. Possible risk of irreversible effects. Nickel salts may cause convulsions and asphyxia. |
| Chronic Health Effects: | Prolonged exposure to hydrolysable fluorine compounds can cause deterioration of bone and tooth structure. Prolonged exposure to nickel and nickel compounds may lead to skin irritation and dermatitis. May cause cancer. |

| 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. Apply calcium gluconate jelly or water soluble calcium salts as antidote. Seek medical assistance. |
| 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. |
