Other hazards which do not result in classification
Under normal conditions of use and handling in the solid form, harmful substances cannot be released, nor is the solid metal piece considered flammable. Much of the information provided in this SDS is for situations of use in which hazardous exposures may occur, such as in welding applications or for metals in powder form. Dust generated from processing may present a dust explosion hazard. Inhalation of dusts and fumes can cause metal fume fever. Symptoms can include a metallic or sweet taste in the mouth, sweating, shivering, headache, throat irritation, fever, chills, thirstiness, muscle aches, nausea, vomiting, weakness, fatigue, and shortness of breath. Exposure may aggravate pre-existing eye, skin, or respiratory conditions.
