DIZZINESS, NAUSEA, DRYNESS, IRRITATION OF NOSE/THROAT/LUNGS & EYES,
LONG TERM EXPOSURE TO WELDING FUMES: RESPIRATORY PROBLEMS, IRON
BUILDUP IN THE LUNGS, BONE ERO SION, REDUCED PULMONARY FUNCTIONS &
NERVOUS DISORDERS.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:SEE INGREDIENTS.
Effects of Overexposure:SHORT TERM EXPOSURE TO WELDING FUMES:
DIZZINESS, NAUSEA, DRYNESS, IRRITATION OF NOSE/THROAT/LUNGS & EYES.
LONG TERM EXPOSURE TO WELDING FUMES: RESPIRATORY PROBLEMS, IRON
BUILDUP IN THE LUNGS, BONE ERO SION, REDUCED PULMONARY FUNCTIONS &
NERVOUS DISORDERS.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:PRE-EXISTING IMPAIRED
RESPIRATORYFUNCTIONS/INDIVIDUALS W/ALLERGIC CONDITIONS.

First Aid:IF OVERCOME BY SMOKE/FUMES, INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR.
