SECTION 2: Hazards identification
Emergency Overview Hazardous fumes are generated by welding, soldering or brazing. Exposure to welding related processes, materials, fumes or gases might be linked to certain neurological and physical disorders and cancer. Protect yourself and others at all times. A NIOSH approved, proper fitting and well-maintained respirator should be worn at all times while using this product. Keep your head out of the fumes and gases. Use adequate ventilation and/or exhaust to keep fumes and gases from your breathing zone and the general area. Keep others without proper respiratory protection away from the fumes and gases and your work zone while using this product.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure
Pre-existing respiratory conditions may be aggravated by exposure to welding fumes.
Principle Routes of Exposure
Inhalation of welding fumes. Skin contact. Eyes. General Welding Statement Fumes and gases can be dangerous to your health. Arc Rays can injure eyes and burn skin. Electric shock can kill.
Potential health effects
Eyes Eye contact may cause mechanical irritation. Risk of serious damage to eyes. Skin Repeated or prolonged skin contact may cause skin irritation and/or dermatitis and sensitization of susceptible persons. _____________________________________________ __ Page 1 / 4 Short term overexposure to welding fumes may result in dizziness, nausea, or dryness or irritation of nose, throat, or eyes. Long term exposure may lead to iron deposits in the lungs and is believed by some investigators to affect pulmonary function. Long term overexposure to nickel compounds may cause lung fibrosis, edema or pneumoconiosis. Inhalation of fume with chromium (VI) compounds can cause irritation of the respiratory tract, lung damage and asthma- like symptoms. Prolonged over exposure to molybdenum may cause loss of appetite, weight loss, loss of muscle coordination, difficulty breathing and anemia. Fluoride compounds produced may cause eye and skin burns, pulmonary edema bronchitis. Ingestion Not likely to occur.
