2.3 Other hazards
The fumes given off during the use of this product consists mainly of copper fume and oxides, and may contain quantities of manganese and nickel compounds. The exact amount of these compounds present in the fume depends on the grade of copper alloy and the shielding gas being used. In addition ozone and nitrogen dioxide will be produced in the surrounding air by the welding arc radiation. Harmful if inhaled May cause cancer Harmful if swallowed Under certain conditions, overexposure or inhalation of excessive amounts of fume containing these compounds and gases can have the following effects: Copper overexposure can cause metal fume fever Manganese overexposure can affect the central nervous system, resulting in impaired speech and movement. This condition is considered irreversible. Nickel overexposure may cause nasal or lung cancer, and is classified as a potential human carcinogen. It can also cause skin 2 dermatitis. Ozone and nitrogen dioxide overexposure can produce eye, respiratory and lung irritation, and can also produce longer term lung effects such as decreased lung capacity, chronic bronchitis.
