Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ACUTE: EYE CONT MAY CAUSE IRRIT. SKIN
CONT CAUSES IRRIT & MAY CAUSE SENSITIZATION/ALLERGIC RXNS WHICH MAY
BE ACCENTUATED BY HEAT & HUMIDITY. THE SYMPS OF THIS NICKEL DERM,
REFERRED TO AS "NICKEL ITCH" MAY INCL ITCHING/BURNING SENSATION
FOLLOWED BY ERUPTION OF SORES. INHAL CAUSES UPPER RESP IRRIT.

Explanation of Carcinogenicity:CADIUM: IARC MONO, SUPP, VOL 7, PG 139,
1987: GROUP 2A. NTP 8TH ANNUAL RPT ON CARCINS, 1998: ANTIC TO BE
CARCIN. NICKEL: IARC MONO ON EVAL OF CARCIN RISK OF CHEMS TO MAN,
VOL 49, PG 257, 1990: GROUP 2 B. NTP 8TH ANNUAL RPT ON CARCINS,
1998: ANTIC TO BE CARCIN. NICKEL HAS BEEN CLASSIFIED BY BOTH IARC &
NTP AS HAVING SUFFICIENT EVID OF CARCIN IN (SUPDAT)
Effects of Overexposure:HLTH HAZS: EMPHYSEMA AND/OR KIDNEY DISFUNCTION.
NOTE: INHAL OF FUMES MAY CAUSE FLU-LIKE ILLNESS CALLED METAL FUME
FEVER. TYPICALLY METAL FUME FEVER BEGINS 4-12 HRS AFTER SUFFICIENT
EXPOS TO FRESHLY FO RMED FUMES. FIRST SYMPS ARE METALLIC TASTE,
DRYNESS & IRRIT OF THROAT. COUGH & SHORTNESS OF BREATH MAY OCCUR
ALONG W/HDCH, FATG, NAUS, VOMIT, MUSCLE & JOINT PAIN, FEVER &
CHILLS. SYNDROME RUNS ITS COU RSE IN 24-48 HRS. NOTE: POTNTL HLTH
EFTS DESCRIBED ONLY APPLY IF DUST/FUME IS FORMED. CHRONIC:
RPTD/LONG-TERM EXPOS TO CADMIUM, EVEN @ RELATIVELY LOW CONCS,
(OTHER INFO)
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT EXISTING MED
