| SECTION 3: Hazards Identification | |
|---|---|
| Emergency Overview: | Irritating to skin, eyes and respiratory tract. May cause sensitization by inhalation and skin contact. May cause fluoride poisoning. May cause cancer. |
| Primary Routes of Exposure: | Ingestion, inhalation, skin, eyes. |
| Eye Contact: | Causes irritation and serious eye damage. Effects may not immediately appear. |
| Skin Contact: | Causes irritation, with delayed redness and pain. Soluble fluoride may be corrosive. Nickel salts may lead to dermatitis. |
| Inhalation: | May cause sensitization by inhalation. Inhalation causes severe irritation to the respiratory tract. |
| Ingestion: | May cause salivation, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. |
| Acute Health Effects: | Fluoride poisoning may cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, weakness, coma, and cardiovascular collapse. Nickel salts may cause convulsions, asphyxia, and sensitization dermatitis. |
| 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. |
| 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. 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. |
