Effects of overexposure are as follows: Acute: Excessive inhalation of all metallic fumes and dusts may result in irritation of eyes, nose and throat. Also high concentrations of fumes and ducts of iron-oxide, manganese, copper & selenium may result in metal fume fever. Typical symptoms consist of a metallic taste in the mouth, dryness and irritation of the throat, chills and fever, and usually last from 12 to 48 hours. Chronic: Chronic and prolonged inhalation of high concentrations of fumes or dust of the following elements may lead to the conditions listed opposite the elements: Iron (iron-oxide): Pulmonary effects, siderosis Manganese: Bronchitis, pneumonitis, lack of coordination, central nervous system. Chromium: Various forms of dermatitis, inflammation and/or ulceration of upper respiratory tract, and possibly cancer of nasal passages and lungs.
