Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:AS SHIPPED, THE METAL PRODUCT IS AN
ARTICLE. THE LIKELIHOOD FOR HAZARDOUS CONSEQUENCES THROUGH EYE,
SKIN CONTACT, INHALATION, OR INGESTION WOULD BE CONSIDERED MINIMAL.
HOWEVER, IF YOUR PROCESS INVOLVE S GRINDING, MELTING, WELDING,
CUTTING, OR OTHER PROCESS THAT CAUSES RELEASE OF DUST OR FUME,
HAZARDOUS LEVELS OF THESE ALLOYS COULD BE GENERATED. INHALATION:
PRIMARY ROUTE OF EXPOSURE, STEEL DUSTS AND FUMES MAY CAUSE
IRRITATION TO THE RESPIRATORY TRACT. CHRONIC EXPOSURE MAY AGGRAVATE
PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS. SKIN AND EYE CONTACT: MAY CAUSE IRRITATION
OR SKIN SENSITIVITY. INGESTION: CERTAIN CONSTIT UENTS MAY BE
HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:LIST OF CHEMICALS KNOWN TO CAUSE CANCER
AND REPRODUCTIVE TOXICITY INCLUDES HEXAVALENT COMPOUNDS OF CHROMIUM
AND NICKEL DUST FROM PYROMETALLURGICAL PROCESSING.
Effects of Overexposure:SYMPTOMS ARE FLU-LIKE INCLUDING: SHORTNESS OF
BREATH, COUGHING, MUSCLE PAIN, FEVER AND CHILLS. GENERALLY,
SYMPTOMS RESOLVE WITH REST IN A FEW DAYS. ALSO SYMPTOMS BASED ON
INDIVIDUAL INGREDIENTS: EYES: IRRITATION. SKIN: IRRITATION,
CONTACT DERMATITIS, ULCERATION, ALLERGIC REACTIONS. INHALATION:
IRRITATION OF MUCOUS MEMBRANES, FIBROSIS, NASAL IRRITATION, CANCER,
KIDNEY AND LIVER DAMAGE, FUME FEVER, SIDEROSIS, CNS SYMPTOMS,
HEADACHE, CHANGES IN MOTOR ACTIVITY AND PSYCHOLOGICAL DISTURBANCES.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:CHRONIC EXPOSURE TO ALLOY DUSTS AND
FUMES MAY AGGRAVATE PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS.

First Aid:AS SHIPPED, THE METAL PRODUCT IS AN ARTICLE. THE LIKELIHOOD
FOR HAZARDOUS CONSEQUENCES THROUGH EYE OR SKIN CONTACT, INHALATION
,OR INGESTION WOULD BE CONSIDERED MINIMAL. INHALTION: REMOVE PERSON
FROM EXPOSURE TO FRESH AIR. IF BREATHING DIFFICULTY OCCURS, GET
PROMPT MEDICAL ATTENTION. SKIN/EYE CONTACT: FLUSH EYES WITH PLENTY
OF WATER FOR 15 MINUTES, SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IF IRRITATION
PERSISTS. WA SH SKIN WITH SOAP AND WATER, IF RASH DEVELOPS, SEEK
MEDICAL ATTENTION. INGESTION: SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.
