Disposal

Dispose of waste and residues in accordance with local authority requirements. Specific hazards No inhalation hazard in manufactured and shipped state. Chronic exposure to breathing low levels of manganese dust or fume over a long period of time can result in “manganism,” a disease of the central nervous system similar to Parkinson’s Disease, gait impairment, muscle spasms and behavioral changes. Solid aluminum does not present an inhalation hazard. Some chromium compounds (primarily hexavalent chromium) can cause sensitization (chrome allergy). Elevated temperatures or mechanical action may form dust and fumes which may be irritating to the eye, mucous membranes and respiratory tract. Heating above the melting point releases metallic oxides which may cause metal fume fever by inhalation. The symptoms are shivering, fever, malaise and muscular pain. The effects might be delayed. Molten material will produce thermal burns. Mechanical processing may generate dust. Suspensions of aluminum dust in air may pose a severe explosion hazard, especially in confined atmosphere.
