| SECTION 3: Hazards Identification | |
|---|---|
| Emergency Overview: | Dust can cause slight to mild irritation of eyes, skin, and nasal cavity. Prolonged exposure has produced tumors and reproductive effects in animal studies. 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 mild irritation of the skin, and dermatitis in sensitive individuals. |
| Inhalation: | May be irritating to the nose, mucous membranes and respiratory tract. |
| Ingestion: | Repeated ingestion 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. |
| Chronic Health Effects: | Prolonged exposure to nickel and nickel compounds may lead to skin irritation and dermatitis. Behaves as a tumorigen, mutagen and reproductive effecter in animal studies. may cause cancer. |
| NTP: | 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. |
