2.3 Other hazards

METAL FUME FEVER: Excessive inhalation of metal fumes may cause a flu-like illness called "Metal Fume Fever". Symptoms include: headache, fever, chills, muscle aches, thirst, nausea, vomiting, chest soreness, fatigue, gastrointestinal pain and weakness. The symptoms usually start several hours after exposure; the attack may last 6 to 24 hours. Complete recovery generally occurs without intervention within 24 to 48 hours. Metal Fume Fever is more likely to occur after a period away from the job (after weekends or vacations) and usually last from 12 to 48 hours. If this product is subjected to "hot work" (such as soldering, welding, brazing, smelting) hazardous by- products will be formed as oxides of the metal(s) in this product. Such metal oxides may pose additional health hazards. Further processing of this product may compromise the product coating(s), resulting in the release hazardous fumes of gases. Observe safety measures suited to the coating(s) when handling, cutting or melting.
