POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS

ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS

SWALLOWED

  Although ingestion is not thought to produce harmful effects, the material may still be damaging to the health of the individual following ingestion, especially where pre-  existing organ (e.g. liver, kidney) damage is evident. Present definitions of harmful or toxic substances are generally based on doses producing mortality (death) rather than those producing morbidity (disease, ill-health). Gastrointestinal tract discomfort may produce nausea and vomiting. In an occupational setting however, ingestion of insignificant quantities is not thought to be cause for concern.  

EYE

  There is some evidence to suggest that this material can causeeye irritation and damage in some persons.  

SKIN

  Skin contact with the material may damage the health of the individual; systemic effects may result following absorption.  This material can cause inflammation of the skin oncontact in some persons.  Toxic effects may result from skin absorption.  

INHALED

  Inhalation may produce health damage*.  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

  There has been concern that this material can cause cancer or mutations, but there is not enough data to make an assessment.  

  Primary routes of exposure are usually by skin contact/absorption  and inhalation of vapour.  Vapours have a narcotic effect and prolonged inhalation may result in  unconsciousness. Chronic inhalation exposures may result in liver and blood  changes.  Ingestion of liquid may result in vomiting and aspiration of vomitus which  may cause chemical pneumonitis followed by cardiovascular collapse and coma.  Continual exposure to cobalt is capable of giving rise to allergic contact  dermatitis and pulmonary reactions. [Patty's]  Toxicity remains essential the same if octoates rather than naphthenates are  present.
