Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:YES Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:SYMPS & HLTH HAZS FOR DILUTE NITRIC
ACID ARE EXPECTED TO BE LESS SEV THAN EXPOS TO CONCD NITRIC ACID.
HOWEVER, SINCE NITRIC ACID IS IN SOLN AT 1% (OR 10,000 PPM) OR
GREATER, HLTH HAZS FOR CONCD NITRIC ACID ARE GIVEN. THIS SOLN MAY
BE HARMFUL IF INHALED, INGESTED OR CONTACTED W/SKIN OR EYES.
BERYLLIUM (EFTS OF OVEREXP)
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NOT RELEVANT
Effects of Overexposure:HLTH HAZ: SALTS ARE ALL CONSIDERED TO BE
CARCINOGENIC ACCORDING TO OSHA, NTP & IARC. ACUTE EXPOS TO
BERYLLIUM DUST & FUMES EVEN FOR PERIOD OF MINS AT HIGH LEVELS CAN
CAUSE BERYLLIUM POISONING WHICH CA N AFFECT SKIN, EYES & RESP SYS.
DIRECT CNTCT W/METAL OR ITS CMPDS CAN CAUSE SORES ON HANDS, FACE,
NECK & ARMS. (ING 6)
