| SECTION 3: Hazards Identification | |
|---|---|
| Emergency Overview: | Toxic if swallowed. Ingestion of nickel salts may cause intestinal disorders, convulsions and asphyxia. Irritating to skin, eyes and respiratory tract. May cause cancer and heritable genetic damage. |
| Primary Routes of Exposure: | Ingestion, inhalation of dust |
| Eye Contact: | Causes slight to mild irritation of the eyes. |
| Skin Contact: | Causes slight to mild irritation of the skin. Prolonged exposure to nickel salts may lead to dermatitis. |
| Inhalation: | Irritating to the nose, mucous membranes and respiratory tract. May cause sensitization by inhalation. |
| Ingestion: | Toxic if swallowed. Ingestion may lead to dizziness, abdominal cramps, vomiting, bloody diarrhea, weakness and convulsions. |
| Acute Health Effects: | Toxic if swallowed. Irritating to skin, eyes and respiratory tract. May cause intestinal disorders, convulsions, asphyxia, sensitization dermatitis, allergic asthma and pneumonitis. |
