2.3 Other hazards

This product is presented in a solid form as an alloy. It does not present the same hazards when the individual components are in their powdered forms. Under normal use and handling of the solid form of this material there are few health hazards. Cutting, welding, melting, grinding, etc. of these materials will produce dust, fume or particulate containing the component elements of these materials. The materials present in this product in their powdered forms present aquatic toxicity to the environment, pyrophoricity, flammability, self-heating capabilities, carcinogenicity, water reactivity, and acute toxicity. When processed or where dust is generated a combustible dust hazard may be present. Avoid generating dust, sparks, ignition sources, and take all necessary precautions. Exposure to dust or fume may cause irritation of the eyes, skin and respiratory tract. Fine particulates dispersed in air may present an 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. If heated to the point of fume generation, zinc fumes may cause metal fume fever. Otherwise, Zinc is nontoxic.
