SECTION 2: Hazards identification
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW** NOTE: Steel products under normal conditions do not present an inhalation, ingestion, or contact health hazard. However, operations such as burning, welding, sawing, brazing, grinding and possibly machining, etc. which result in elevating the temperature of the product to or above its melting point or result in the generation of airborne particulates, may present health hazards. EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE: Major Exposure Hazard: INHALATION Chronic inhalation of high concentrations of iron oxide fumes or dusts may lead to a benign pneumoconiosis (siderosis). Inhalation of high concentrations of ferric oxide may possibly enhance the risk of lung cancer development in workers exposed to pulmonary carcinogens. The inhalation of high concentrations of freshly formed oxide fumes and dusts of Manganese, Copper, Lead and/or Zinc in the respirable particle size range can cause an influenza-like illness termed metal fume fever. Typical symptoms last 12 to 48 hours and are characterized by metallic taste in the mouth, dryness and irritation of the throat, followed by weakness, muscle pain, and chills. No long term effects of metal fume fever have been noted.
