2.3 Other hazards

Not applicable

Further information

No information available. 2.2. ROUTE OF OVEREXPOSURE:  The primary route of entry of the decomposition products is by inhalation. Skin contact, eye contact and ingestion are possible.  Absorption by skin contact is unlikely.  When these products are used as recommended by Safe Practices, and ventilation maintains exposure to the decomposition products below the limits recommended in this section overexposure is unlikely. 2.3. EFFECTS OF ACUTE OVEREXPOSURE:  Short-term overexposure to the gases, fumes, and dusts may include irritation of the eyes, lungs, nose and throat.  For more information see Section 11. 2.4. EFFECTS OF CHRONIC OVEREXPOSURE:  Long-term overexposure to air contaminants may lead to their accumulation in the lungs, a condition which may be seen as dense areas on chest X-rays,  may cause skin rash,  can lead to permanent injuryes( siderosis, fibrosis, calcification of the bone, ligaments, affect the central nervous system),  For more information see Section 11.

2.1 Classification of the substance or mixture

Electrodes are generally classified as “articles” and do not constitute a hazardous material in solid form under the definitions of the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR1910.1200). Any articles manufactured from these solid products would be generally classified as non-hazardous.  electrode for manual metal arc welding is not classified as hazardous substance,  hazardous substances in welding and allied processes are respirable air polluting substances generated by welding, cutting and allied processes, which at an intolerable concentration may be injurious to health. Description of hazards: Fumes and Gases can be dangerous to your health. Common entry is by inhalation. Other possible routes are skin contact and ingestion. Arc rays can injure eyes and burn skin. Noise can damage hearing. Skin cancer has been reported. This product, when used for welding or cutting, produces fumes or gasses which contain dangerous chemicals. Electrical shock can kill. If welding must be performed in damp locations or with wet clothing, on metal structures or when in cramped positions such as sitting, kneeling or lying, if there is a high risk of unavoidable or accidental contact with workpiece, use the following equipment: semiautomatic DC Welder, DC Manual (Stick) Welder, or AC Welder with Reduced Voltage Control. Welding Fume – TLV (Threshold Limit Value): The ACGIH recommended general limit for Welding Fume NOC (Not Otherwise Classified) is 5 mg/m3. Protect yourself and other. Use enough ventilation, exhaust at the arc, or both, to keep fumes and gases from your breathing zone and general area. Wear correct eye, ear and body protection.
