Section 2
SECTION 2: Hazards identification
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW Fumes during soldering are irritating to eyes and may cause headache and respiratory system 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 inhaled or swallowed. ECC (Europe) DANGEROUS SUBSTANCES
R-phrase(s)
(Risks to Humans or the Environment)
Hazard statements
R 20 - Harmful by inhalation. Xn Harmful R 42/43 - May cause sensitization by inhalation and skin contact. G PRIMARY EXPOSURE: Contact with skin and eyes when handling. 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. EYE CONTACT: Irritation from contact with smoke from soldering. SKIN CONTACT: Possible local irritation by contact with flux or fumes. INGESTION: May be harmful if swallowed. Most of the solder paste will pass through the body unabsorbed. Metal that is absorbed is caught by the liver and, in part, excreted in the bile. SKIN ABSORPTION: None. POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS OF CHRONIC (prolonged) EXPOSURE: Smoke during soldering will contain rosin which is an allergen that can cause eye irritation and respiratory system irritation and damage. Prolonged or repeated contact with skin can cause a rash.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure
Chemical hypersensitivity, asthma and other respiratory conditions, existing eye and skin disorders. Metal: Diseases of the blood and blood-forming organs, kidneys, nerves and possibly reproductive system. CARCINOGENICITY/ NTP
