Potential health effects

Lithium Cobalt Oxide Blue-Black Powder Cobalt and Cobalt compounds are considered (odorless) to be possible human carcinogen(s) .By IARC: May irritate eyes, skin, nose ,throat, and respiratory system May cause allergic skin sensitization (rash) Carbon Black Powder (odorless) No cases of carbon being harmful to humans have been reported. WHO and ILO have never verified that carbon irritation of the skin and mucous membrane, etc. In some individuals Bond Odorless White Powder Inhalation and skin contact are expected to be CAUTION! the primary routes of occupational exposure to MELT PROCESSING this material .As a finished product ,it is a RELEASES synthetic, high molecular weight polymer . due VAPORS WHICH to its chemical and physical properties , this MAY material dos not require special handing other CAUSE than the good industrial hygiene and safety EYE, practical employed with any industrial material 2 of this type . Under normal processing conditions , this material release fame or vapor components of these release may vary with processing time and temperatures . These process releases may produce eye , skin and/or respiratory tract irritation and , with repeated or prolonged exposures .,nausea , drowsiness , headache and weakness 1 Although unlikely under normal handling conditions , if this material is heated in excess of 600F(315C) hazardous , decomposition products will be produced . hazardous decomposition products include hydrogen fluoride and oxides of carbon , the concentrations of which vary with temperature and heating regimens Electrolyte Colorless Liquid May cause moderate to severe irritation, WARNING! burring , and dryness of the skin. May cause FLAMMABLE. eye irritation or burning .Breathing of the mists, REACTS WITH WSTER TO FORM vapors or fumes may irritate the nose, throat HYDROFLUORIC ACID. and lungs or fumes may irritate the nose throat MAY CAUSE BURNS TO and lungs Exposure of material with areas SKIN AND EYES which contain water may generate hydrofluoric EFFECTS MAY BE acid which can cause immediate burns on DELEYED. MAY CAUSE BLINDNESS. skin, severe eye bums burns to the mouth and PROBABLE gastrointestinal tract if ingested, and laryngeal REPRODUCTIVE edema if inhaled. Direct exposure to areas of the body need to be treated immediately to prevent injury
