Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:NO Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:YES IARC:YES OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ACUTE: ALUMINUM DUST AND FINES ARE A
LOW HEALTH RISK BY INHALATION. WELDING ALUMINUM CAN GENERATE OZONE
WHICH CAUSES IRRITATION, CONGESTION AND EDEMA. PLASMA ARC CUTTING
WITH NITROGEN GENERATES NITROG EN OXIDES WHICH CAUSES IRRITATION
AND DELAYED PULMONARY EDEMA. CHRONIC: POSSIBLE PULMONARY LESIONS
AND CANCER.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:CHROMIUM IS LISTED UNDER NTP AND IARC.
Effects of Overexposure:INHALATION: IRRITATION OF NOSE AND THROAT,
COUGHING, WHEEZING, SHORTNESS OF BREATH, CHEST TIGHTNESS.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:INDIVIDUALS WITH A HISTORY OF
RESPIRATORY CONDITIONS MAY BE AT INCREASED RISK.

First Aid:EYES/SKIN: FLUSH WITH PLENTY OF WATER. IF IRRITATION
PERSISTS, SEE DOCTOR. INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. GIVE
CPR/OXYGEN IF NEEDED. SEE DOCTOR.

Flash Point:NONE
Extinguishing Media:NON-FLAMMABLE. USE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA APPROPIATE
FOR SURROUNDING FIRE.
Fire Fighting Procedures:SMALL CHIPS, FINE TURNINGS AND DUST MAY IGNITE
READILY. USE COARSE WATER SPRAY ON CHIPS AND TURNINGS. USE CLASS D
EXTINGUISHER OR DRY SAND ON FINES.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:DUST CLOUDS MAY BE EXPLOSIVE. DROPS OF
MOLTEN ALUMINUM IN WATER CAN GENERATE ENOUGH FLAMMABLE HYDROGEN GAS
TO PRESENT AN EXPLOSION HAZARD.

Spill Release Procedures:VENTILATE.CLEAN UP USING METHODS THAT AVOID
DUST GENERATION SUCH AS WET DUST MOP OR WET CLEAN UP AND PLACE IN
APPROPIATE DISPOSAL CONTAINER AND COVER.IF DUST IS GENERATED USE
NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED RESPI RATOR WITH DUST CARTRIDGE.
