SECTION 2: Hazards identification
Physical state Solid. Odor : Odorless. Color : Metallic gray. Hazard status This material is classified hazardous under OSHA regulations in the United States and the WHMIS Controlled Product Regulation in Canada. Emergency overview WARNING ! MAY CAUSE RESPIRATORY TRACT, EYE AND SKIN IRRITATION. CONTAINS MATERIAL WHICH CAUSES DAMAGE TO THE FOLLOWING ORGANS: BLOOD, KIDNEYS, LUNGS, RESPIRATORY TRACT, SKIN, CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM. When product is subjected to welding, burning, melting, sawing, brazing, grinding, or other similar processes, potentially hazardous airborne particulate and fumes may be generated. Avoid inhalation of metal dusts and fumes. Operations having the potential to generate airborne particulates should be performed in well ventilated areas and, if appropriate, respiratory protection and other personal protective equipment should be used.
Principle Routes of Exposure
Dermal contact. Eye contact. Inhalation. Ingestion.
Potential Acute Health Effects
Eyes May cause eye irritation. Particles of iron or iron compounds, which become imbedded in the eye, may cause rust stains unless removed fairly promptly. Skin May cause skin irritation upon contact. May cause sensitization by skin contact. Inhalation May cause respiratory tract irritation. Excessive inhalation of fumes of freshly formed metal oxide particles sized below 1.5 microns and usually between 0.02-0.05 microns from many metals can produce an acute reaction known as “metal fume fever”. Ingestion Ingestion of dust may cause nausea and/or vomiting.
Potential chronic health
Carcinogenic effects: Not classified or listed by IARC, NTP, OSHA, EU and ACGIH. effects Mutagenic effects: Not available.
Teratogenic Effects
Not available Medical conditions Repeated or prolonged contact with chemical surface treatments or oil residue may cause aggravated by over- skin irritation, dermatitis, ulceration or allergic reactions in sensitized individuals. Long-term exposure inhalation exposure to high concentrations (over-exposure) to pneumoconiotic agents may act synergistically with inhalation of oxides, fumes or dusts of this product to cause toxic effects. Repeated or prolonged exposure to the substance can produce target organ damage. See toxicological information (section 11) 3 .
