EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: green powder.
Warning! Causes eye, skin, and respiratory tract
irritation. May cause allergic skin reaction. May cause cancer by
inhalation.
Target Organs: Lungs, respiratory system, eyes,
skin.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Dust may cause mechanical irritation. Causes eye irritation.
Skin:
Causes skin irritation. May cause skin sensitization, an allergic
reaction, which becomes evident upon re-exposure to this material.
May cause dermatitis.
Ingestion:
Causes gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and
diarrhea.
Inhalation:
Causes respiratory tract irritation. May cause allergic respiratory
reaction.
Chronic:
Repeated inhalation is associated with nasal and nasopharyngeal
cancer. Symptoms of overexposure to nickel can cause sensitization,
dermatitis, allergic asthma and pneumonitis.
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
|
Eyes:
In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for a
t least 15 minutes. Get medical aid.
Skin:
In case of contact, flush skin with plenty of water. Remove
contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if irritation
develops and persists. Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion:
If swallowed, do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by
medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious
person. Get medical aid.
Inhalation:
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial
respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid.
Notes to Physician:
Treat symptomatically and supportively.
Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures
