Environmental hazards
In its manufactured and shipped state, this product (copper cathode) is considered to Specific hazards present low hazard. Elevated temperatures or mechanical action may form dust and fumes which may be irritating to eyes, 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. Long-term exposure to copper may cause anaemia. Prolonged skin contact may cause dermatitis. Molten copper may cause thermal burn. Mechanical processing may generate dust. High concentrations of dust may form explosive mixture with air. Irritation of nose and throat. Irritation of eyes and mucous membranes Main symptoms
