IF ON SKIN: Wash with plenty of soap and water. Specific treatment see instructions on label. If skin irritation occurs, get medical advice/attention. IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. If eye irritation persists, get medical advice/attention. IF INHALED: If breathing is difficult, remove to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. If experiencing respiratory symptoms call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician. If skin irritation or rash occurs, seek medical advice/attention. IF exposed or concerned: Get medical attention/advice. IF INHALED: Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. Call a POISON CENTER/doctor if you feel unwell. Get medical attention/advice if you feel unwell. IF SWALLOWED: Immediately call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician. Do NOT induce vomiting.

Potential health effects

Inhalation Acute Exposure Effects: (Acute and Chronic): May cause central nervous system depression with symptoms including dizziness, headache, nausea, fatigue, drowsiness, or unconsciousness. Severe overexposure may cause convulsions; unconsciousness; and death. Intentional misuse of this product by deliberately concentrating and inhaling can be harmful or fatal. Cobalt metal powder is a known allergen that produces characteristic symptoms of asthma, such as wheezing, dry cough, and labored breathing. Usually the asthma symptoms appear 4-6 hours after exposure and often worsen again later in the same day. Manganese compounds can cause central nervous system (CNS) damage by inhalation of fumes and dust. CNS effects may include drowsiness and perioral numbness. Respiratory effects may include "metal fume fever" and pleuritis. Chronic exposure may cause Parkinson-like symptoms (such as muscle weakness, tremor, slurred speech, and gait disturbances). May cause psychiatric symptoms such as nervousness and irritability. Skin Contact Acute Exposure Effects: May cause mild transient skin irritation. Symptoms may include redness, itching, and burning of the skin. Repeated or prolonged skin contact can produce moderate irritation (dermatitis). The severity of irritation will depend on the amount of material that is applied to the skin and the speed and thoroughness that it is removed. Data for cobalt metal powder has shown the potential to cause allergic contact dermatitis if there is prior sensitization. Most rashes associated with cobalt occur on the hands and appear within the first year of occupational exposure to cobalt. Eye Contact Acute Exposure Effects: This material is an eye irritant. May cause transient mild eye irritation with short-term contact with liquid sprays or mists. Symptoms include stinging, watering, redness, and swelling. Ingestion Acute Exposure Effects: Harmful or fatal if swallowed. If swallowed, this material may irritate the mucous membranes of the mouth, throat, and esophagus. It can readily be absorbed by the stomach and intestinal tract. Symptoms include a burning sensation of the mouth and esophagus, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, staggering gait, drowsiness, loss of consciousness, and delirium, as well as additional central nervous system (CNS) effects. Due to its light viscosity, there is the danger of aspiration into the lungs during vomiting, which can result in severe lung damage or death. Chronic Exposure Effects: Reports have associated repeated and prolonged overexposure to solvents with irreversible brain and nervous system damage. Prolonged or repeated contact may cause dermatitis. Chronic effects of ingestion and subsequent aspiration into the lungs may cause pneumatocele (lung cavity) formation and chronic lung dysfunction. Target Organs: kidneys, lungs, liver, mucous membranes, upper respiratory tract, skin, central nervous system, eye, lens or cornea Medical Conditions Generally Diseases of the skin, liver, kidneys, central nervous system, respiratory system.
