Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:YES OSHA:YES
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:CHRONIC: NICKEL, NICKEL COMPOUNDS-LUNG
FIBROSIS OR PNEUMONOCONIOSIS, STUDIES OF NICKEL REFINERY WORKERS
INDICATE A HIGHER INCIDENCE OF LUNG AND NASAL CANCERS.
CHROMIUM-ULCERATION AND PERFORATION OF NA SAL SEPTUM. RESPIRATORY
IRRITATION MAY OCCUR WITH SYMPTOMS RESEMBLING ASTHMA. CHROMIUM (VI)
COMPOUNDS ARE MORE READILY ABSORED THROUGH THE SKIN THAN CHROMIUM
(III) COMPOUNDS. ALUMINUM OXIDE-PULMONARY FIBROSIS AND EMPHYSEMA.
YTTRIUM-MAY CAUSE LUNG AND LIVER DAMAGE.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THAT CHROMATE
PRODUCTION WORKERS EXPOSED TO HEXAVALENT CHROMIUM COMPOUNDS HAVE AN
EXCESS OF LUNG CANCERS. CHROMIUM (VI).
Effects of Overexposure:ACUTE: NICKEL, NICKEL COMPOUNDS-METALLIC TASTE,
NAUSEA, TIGHTNESS IN CHEST, METAL FUME FEVER, ALLERGIC REACTIONS.
CHROMIUM-INHALATION OF FUME WITH CHROMIUM (VI) COMPOUNDS CAN CAUSE
IRRITATION OF THE R ESPIRATORY TRACT, LING DAMAGE AND ASTHMA LIKE
SYMPTOMS. SWALLOWING CHROMIUM (VI) SALTS CAN CAUSE SEVERE INJURY
AND DEATH. DUST ON SKIN CAN FORM ULCERS. EYES MAY BE BURNED BY
CHROMIUM (VI) COMPOUNDS. A LLERGIC REACTIONS MAY OCCUR IN SOME
PEOPLE. ALUMINUM OXIDE- IRRITATION OF THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM.
YTTRIUM-MAY CAUSE IRRITATION OF THE EYES AND RESPIRATORY SYSTEM.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:PERSONS WITH IMPAIRED LUNG FUNCTION
(ASTHMA LIKE CONDITIONS).

First Aid:AVOID INHALATION OF FUMES AND GASES. REMOVE FROM EXPOSURE AND
TREAT SYMPTOMATICALLY. IF SKIN OR EYE IRRITATION DEVELOPS AFTER
EXPOSURE CONSULT A PHYSICIAN.
