Ingredient CAS No Percent Hazardous --------------------------------------- ------------ ------------ --------- Nickel Carbonate 3333-67-3 99 - 100% Yes
Inhalation:Can cause headaches, dizziness, and difficult breathing. Finer dust particulates may irritate the respiratory tract. Symptoms may include coughing, sore throat, and shortness of breath. Inhalation of nickel and nickel compounds is associated with nasal and lung damage and cancer.
Ingestion:May cause irritation to the gastro-intestinal tract. Large oral dose may cause nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea.
Skin Contact:Causes irritation, redness, pain. May cause allergic dermatitis. Nickel is a contact allergen and sensitizer.
Eye Contact:Causes irritation, redness, and pain.
Chronic Exposure:Prolonged exposure to excessive concentrations of dust may cause chronic pulmonary disorders. Nickel and certain nickel compounds are considered carcinogenic and noted for producing nasal and lung cancer.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions:Skin contact with some nickel compounds in sensitive individuals may cause dermatitis (nickel itch).
Inhalation:Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention.
Ingestion:Induce vomiting immediately as directed by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical attention.
Skin Contact:Immediately flush skin with plenty of soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse.
Eye Contact:Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting lower and upper eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention immediately.
Fire:Not considered to be a fire hazard.
Explosion:Not considered to be an explosion hazard.
Fire Extinguishing Media:Use any means suitable for extinguishing surrounding fire.
Special Information:In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus with full facepiece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode. Toxic gases and vapors such as nickel carbonyl may be released in a fire involving nickel.
Ventilate area of leak or spill. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in Section 8.
Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Protect against physical damage. Wear special protective equipment (Sec. 8) for maintenance break-in or where exposures may exceed established exposure levels. Wash hands, face, forearms and neck when exiting restricted areas. Shower, dispose of outer clothing, change to clean garments at the end of the day. Avoid cross-contamination of street clothes. Wash hands before eating and do not eat, drink, or smoke in workplace. Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (dust, solids); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product.
Airborne Exposure Limits:For Nickel, Metal and Insoluble Compounds, as Ni:
- OSHA Permissible Exposure Limits (PEL) -1 mg/m3 (TWA).For Nickel, Elemental / Metal:
- ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV) -1.5 mg/m3 (TWA), A5 - Not suspected as a human carcinogen.
For Nickel, Insoluble Compounds, as Ni:- ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV) -0.2 mg/m3 (TWA), A1 - Confirmed human carcinogen
Ventilation System:A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures below the Airborne Exposure Limits. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work area. Please refer to the ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of Recommended Practices, most recent edition, for details.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved):If the exposure limit is exceeded and engineering controls are not feasible, a half facepiece particulate respirator (NIOSH type N95 or better filters) may be worn for up to ten times the exposure limit or the maximum use concentration specified by the appropriate regulatory agency or respirator supplier, whichever is lowest.. A full-face piece particulate respirator (NIOSH type N100 filters) may be worn up to 50 times the exposure limit, or the maximum use concentration specified by the appropriate regulatory agency, or respirator supplier, whichever is lowest. If oil particles (e.g. lubricants, cutting fluids, glycerine, etc.) are present, use a NIOSH type R or P filter. For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a full-facepiece positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. WARNING: Air-purifying respirators do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient atmospheres.
Skin Protection:Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots, gloves, lab coat, apron or coveralls, as appropriate, to prevent skin contact.
Eye Protection:Use chemical safety goggles and/or full face shield where dusting or splashing of solutions is possible. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.
