Hazardous levels of this dust or fumes of the constituents of these alloys could be generated. Following is a list of potential health effects for all hazardous elements that are possibly contained in our alloys. Please refer to section 2 titled “hazardous ingredients” for a list of those specific elements contained in this particular alloy. Health Effects Iron: Known to have caused irritation of the eyes, nose and skin of excremental animals. It may have the same effect on humans. Chromium: Ferrochrome alloys have been associated with lung changes in workers exposed to these alloys. There are reports of skin ulcers, usually on hand or a perforated nasal septum. Some insoluble chromium compounds are suspect carcinogens. OSH (29 CFR 1910. 1200) lists chromium as a possible carcinogen. Columbium (Niobium): No reports of human intoxication. Titanium: Generally considered a nuisance dusty category, chronic overexposure to titanium dioxide dust can potentially lead to chronic bronchitis. Aluminum: Not generally regarded as serious industrial health hazard. Zirconium: Studies of several zirconium compounds conclude that zirconium is an element of low toxicity. Prolonged skin contact with zirconium compounds may lead to lumps on the skin (granulomas). Vanadium: Acts as an irritant to the conjunctivae and respiratory tract. May affect pulmonary involvement. Signs and symptoms of poisoning are pallor, greenish – black discoloration of the tongue, cough, conjunctivitis, pain in the chest, bronchitis, rales and rhonchi, bronchospasm, tremor of the fingers and arms and radiographic reticulation.
