Section 2
SECTION 2: Hazards identification
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW Fumes during soldering are irritating to eyes and may cause headache and respiratory systern irritation or damage. Prolonged or repeated exposure to rosin flux fumes during soldering may result in allergic reaction in a sensitive person, resulting in asthma symptoms. Harmful if swallowed. May cause allergic skin reaction. Flammable liquid and vapor. ECC (Europe) DANGEROUS SUBSTANCES
R-phrase(s)
(Risks to Humans or the Environment)
Hazard statements
R 11 - Highly flammable. F Easily Flammable R 20/22 - Harmful by inhalation and if swallowed, 4 R 42/43 - May cause sensitization by inhalation and skin contact. PRIMARY EXPOSURE: Fumes during soldering will contain evaporated solvent and droplets of rosin and/or organic decomposition products.
Principle Routes of Exposure
© Skin @ Eyes @ Inhalation © Ingestion TARGET ORGANS: Eyes, skin, mucous membranes and respiratory system. POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS OF ACUTE (severe short-term) EXPOSURE: INHALATION: Flux fumes during soldering may cause irritation and damage of mucous membranes and respiratory system. High concentrations can cause headache, dizziness, narcosis and nausea. EYE CONTACT: Irritation from contact with liquid and smoke from soldering. SKIN CONTACT: Possible local irritation by contact with flux or fumes. INGESTION: May exhibit burning sensation in the digestive tract. SKIN ABSORPTION: None. POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS OF CHRONIC (prolonged) EXPOSURE: Prolonged or repeated contact with skin can cause a rash. Smoke during soldering will contain rosin which is an allergen that can cause eye irritation and respiratory system irritation and damage. Vapors can cause headache, dizziness, narcosis and irritation of mucous membranes.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure
Chemica! hypersensitivity, asthma and other respiratory conditions, existing eye and skin disorders. Continued breathing of high concentrations of solvent vapors can affect the liver and central nervous system. CARCINOGENICITY/ © NTP ©
