2.3 Other hazards

EU Risk Phrases The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) Monograph Supplement 7 includes the following information on nickel: Three investigations that examined the possible cancer risk associated with exposure to nickel and nickel compounds in nickel alloy plants showed no significant increase in mortality from cancer. In one of these, excess mortality from lung cancer was noted in maintenance workers; AMPSDS.10 2 of 11 however, it was unc1ear whether the risk was directly associated with nickel exposures. Workers at a gaseous diffusion plant who were exposed to high-purity metallic nickel powder did not exhibit any increase in mortality from respiratory-tract cancers. An incidence study at a hydrometallurgical nickel refining plant in Canada did not indicate an increased risk of cancer. Exposure was to metallic nickel and nickel concentrate dust.

Potential health effects

Although there are no test data, there are no reported cases of any health problems from exposure to this product. As a normal precaution, excessive dusting or inhalation of fines should be avoided. Respirators should be worn if there is excessive dusting.
