POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS

ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS

SWALLOWED

  Accidental ingestion of the material may be harmful; animal experiments indicate that ingestion of less than 150 gram may be fatal or may produce serious damage to the health of the individual.  Considered an unlikely route of entry in commercial/industrial environments.  

EYE

  This material can cause eye irritation and damage in some persons.  The material may produce severe irritation to the eye causing pronounced inflammation. Repeated or prolonged exposure to irritants may produce conjunctivitis.  

SKIN

  Skin contact with the material may be harmful; systemic effects may resultfollowing absorption.  This material can cause inflammation of the skin oncontact in some persons.  Toxic effects may result from skin absorption.  Exposure limits with "skin" notation indicate that vapor and liquid may be absorbed through intact skin. Absorption by skin may readily exceed vapor inhalation exposure. Symptoms for skin absorption are the same as for inhalation. Contact with eyes and mucous membranes may also contribute to overall exposure and may also invalidate the exposure standard.  The material may cause skin irritation after prolonged or repeated exposure and may produce on contact skin redness, swelling, the production of vesicles, scaling and thickening of the skin.  

INHALED

  The material is not thought to produce respiratory irritation (as classified using animal models). Nevertheless inhalation of the material, especially for prolonged periods, may produce respiratory discomfort and occasionally, distress.  Inhalation hazard is increased at higher temperatures.  

CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS

  Principal routes of exposure are usually by inhalation of spray  mist/vapour and skin contact.  Inhalation of vapour can result in headaches, dizziness and possible nausea.  Inhalation of high concentrations of vapour can produce central nervous  system depression, which can lead to loss of co-ordination, impaired  judgement and if exposure is prolonged, unconsciousness and possible death.  Repeated or prolonged skin contact may lead to defatting with drying,  cracking, irritation and possible dermatitis. The major hazard of  ingestion is aspiration of vomitus into the lungs, which may cause  haemorrhanging and pulmonary oedema, progressing to chemical pneumonitis and  renal involvement. Lung involvement is indicated by cyanosis. Metal fume  fever may result from the inhalation of fume given off as a result of  welding operations involving coated metal. Symptoms may include fever,  chills, muscular pain, nausea and vomiting.
