Eye, Skin, Inhalation and Ingestion EYE CONTACT (ACUTE) May cause irritation, tears, blurred vision and redness to the eyes. EYE CONTACT (CHRONIC) No data available. SKIN CONTACT (ACUTE) Contact with liquid or mists can cause irritation. May cause an allergic skin reaction (nickel itch) in susceptible individuals. SKIN CONTACT (CHRONIC) Prolonged or repeated contact may cause sensitization or allergic skin reaction (nickel itch). INGESTION (ACUTE) May irritate mouth and gastrointestinal system. INGESTION (CHRONIC) No data available. INHALATION (ACUTE) Nickel sulfate: inhalation of dusts/mists may cause irritation of the upper respiratory tract. Individuals hypersensitive to nickel may develop asthma, bronchitis, shortness of breath or wheezing. INHALATION (CHRONIC) Chronic inhalation may cause effects similar to those of acute inhalation. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE DATA RESPIRATORY PROTECTION If there is a value for OSHA-PEL/ACGIH-TLV in section 13 and it is exceeded, it is recommended that a NIOSH approved respirator be used. Consult with your Industrial Hygienist for appropriate cartridge selection and use. See 29CFR 1910.134 for details. For large spills, entry into large tanks, vessels or enclosed small spaces with inadequate ventilation, a positive pressure, self contained breathing apparatus is recommended. VENTILATION General ventilation is recommended. Additionally, local exhaust ventilation is recommended where vapors, dusts, mists or aerosols may be released. PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT Chemically resistant apron, boots and gloves. Recommended material of construction: PVC, rubber, neoprene. The availability of a safety shower is recommended. If clothing is contaminated, remove clothing and thoroughly wash the affected body area. Launder contaminated clothing before reuse.Wear safety glasses or splash proof goggles, face shield. The availability of an eye wash is recommended. These are general recommendations to provide a safe level of protection for various material handling conditions.
