Potential Acute Health Effects
Zinc is an essential dietary element, and is generally not extremely toxic. However, some characteristics of certain zinc compounds can affect humans severely. Zinc salts produce effects ranging from a burning pain in the mouth and throat caused by zinc sulfate, to intense chest and stomach pain, violent vomiting, diarrhea, shock, and possible death on massive ingestion. May cause severe eye irritation. Corrosive to eyes and skin. Inhalation of dust will produce irritation to gastro-intestinal or respiratory tract, characterized by burning, sneezing and coughing. Fumes generated from high temperatures such as from welding and cutting on metals contaminated with this product may result in formation of zinc oxide fumes at levels above the occupational exposure limit, which can cause "metal fume fever", a flu-like condition involving fever, chills, sweats, nausea, vomiting, muscular aches and pains and breathing disturbance. Symptoms may appear a few hours after exposure and subside within 24-48 hours with no permanent effect. POTENTIAL CHRONIC Not considered to be a human carcinogen, teratogen or mutagen. Repeated skin exposure
Potential health effects
