Harmful if swallowed

SECTION 2: Hazards identification

2.1 Classification of the substance or mixture

2.2.1 This material is stable under most conditions and presents minimal risk in the solid form as shipped, but thermal decomposition can create toxic vapors, gases, or fumes. 2.2.2 Abrasion, grinding, cutting, melting, welding, or other operations which reduce the particle size of the material will change the hazard classification of the product. 2.2.3 Reduction of the product into a dust or fume can create a hazard if the dust or fume becomes airborne in the presence of a spark or ignition source. 2.2.4 This material as a dust or fume poses a health hazard when inhaled and / or ingested. 2.2.5 The tin coating contains a mean of 250 ppm lead. (Con’t) 2.3 Unknown Acute Toxicity No data available on copper inhalation acute toxicity. CDC (ASTDR) has established a minimal risk level for ingested copper at 0.01 mg/kg/day for acute oral exposure (1-14 days). No data available on tin acute toxicity. Lead exposure routes are ingestion, inhalation and dermal absorption. CDC (ASTDR) determined that lead acetate in cosmetics applied by to volunteers to skin resulted in less than 0.3% absorption of the dose (2005).
