Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:NO Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:YES OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:NOTE: PRODS UNDER NORMAL CNDTNS DO NOT
REPRESENT INHAL, INGEST/CNTCT HLTH HAZ. NOTE: STEEL PRODS IN
NATURAL STATE DO NOT PRESENT INHAL. INGEST/CONTACT HAZ. HOWEVER,
OPERATIONS SUCH AS BURNING, WELDING , SAWING, BRAZING & GRINDING
MAY RELEASE FUMES &/DUSTS WHICH MAY PRESENT HLTH HAZ IF TLV'S ARE
EXCEEDED. ACUTE: SHORT TERM EXPOS TO FUMES/DUST MAY PRODUCE IRRIT
OF EYES & RESP SYS. INHAL OF HIGH CONCS OF FRESHLY FORMED OXIDE
FUMES OF IRON, MANGANESE & LEAD MAY CAUSE METAL FUME FEVER
CHARACTERIZED BY METALLIC TASTE IN MOUTH & IRRIT OF THROAT &
INFLUENZA-LIKE SYMPTOMS. (EFTS OF OVEREXP)
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:LEAD: IARC MONOGRAPHS, SUPPLEMENT: VOL
7, PG 23, 1987: GROUP 28.
Effects of Overexposure:HLTH HAZ: CHRONIC: LEAD APPEARS ON THE NAVY
LISTING OF OCCUPATIONAL CHEMICAL REPRODUCTIVE HAZARDS. SEEK
CONSULTATION FROM APPROPRIATE HEALTH PROFESSIONALS CONCERNING
LATEST HAZARD LIST INFORMATION & S AFE HANDLING & EXPOSURE
INFORMATION . CHRONIC INHALATION OF HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF IRON
OXIDE FUMES/DUST MAY LEAD TO BENIGN PNEUMOCONIOSIS (SIDEROSIS).
INHAL OF HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF FERRIC OXI DE MAY POSSIBLY ENHANCE
RISK OF LUNG CANCER DEVELOPMENT IN WORKERS EXPOSED TO PULMONARY
CARCINOGENS. INHAL/INGEST OF LEAD PARTICLES MAY RESULT IN
LEAD-INDUCED SYSTEMIC TOXICITY.

First Aid:INHALATION: IF EXPOSED TO EXCESSIVE LEVELS OF METAL FUMES,
REMOVE TO FRESH AIR, SEEK MEDICAL AID IMMEDIATELY. EYES: FLUSH WITH
WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. INGESTION: CALL MD IMMEDIATELY . SK
IN: FLUSH WITH COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF WATER. CALL MD .

Extinguishing Media:MEDIA SUITABLE FOR SURROUNDING FIRE .
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE NIOSH APPROVED SCBA & FULL PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT . STEEL PRODUCTS IN THE SOLID STATE PRESENT NO FIRE OR
EXPLOSION HAZARD.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:NOT APPLICABLE.

Spill Release Procedures:NOT APPLICABLE.

Handling and Storage Precautions:IN WELDING, PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE
TAKEN FOR AIRBORNE CONTAMINANTS WHICH MAY ORIGINATE FROM COMPONENTS
OF THE WELDING ROD. ARC OR SPARK GENERATED WHEN WELDING OR BURNING
COULD BE A SOURCE OF IGNITION F OR COMBUSTIBLE AND FLAMMABLE
MATERIALS.

Respiratory Protection:NIOSH APPROVED DUST AND FUME, RESPIRATOR SHOULD
BE USED TO AVOID EXCESSIVE INHALATION OF PARTICULATES WHEN EXPOSURE
EXCEEDS TLV'S.
Ventilation:LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION SHOULD BE UTILIZED WHEN WELDING,
BURNING, SAWING, BRAZING, GRINDING OR MACHINING WHEN EXPOSURE
EXCEEDS TLV'S.
Eye Protection:ANSI APPROVED CHEMICAL WORKERS GOGGLES .
Other Protective Equipment:ANSI APPROVED EYE WASH AND DELUGE SHOWER .
Supplemental Safety and Health
