Section 11._ ToxacoloInfoxmaietrioGinue <br />%% <br />Causes damage to lungs <br />through prolonged or <br />repeated inhalation <br />STOST following Repeating Exposure <br />1i <br /><.. <br />WARNING <br />exposure. <br />Causes damage to the <br />central nervous s stem <br />Notes: <br />a. No LC50 or LD50 has been established for Stainless Steel (semi -finished steel products). The following data has been determined for the components: <br />• Iron: LD50= 1060 mg/kg (Oral/ Rat) <br />• Manganese: Mn single oral exposures, LD50 ranged from 275 to 804 mg/kg body weight per day for manganese chloride in different rat strains <br />• Chromium (as Cr +VI): LD50 = 80 mg/kg (Oral/Rat) <br />• Silicon: LD50 = 3160 mg/kg (Oral/Rat); and as Silicon Dioxide: LD50 > 15,000 mg/kg (Oral/Rat) ; LD50 > 5000 mg/kg (Dermal/Rat); LC50 > 0.69 <br />mg/I/4hr (Inhalation/Rat) <br />• Nickel: LD50 > 9000 mg/kg (Oral/Rat); LC50 > 10.2 mg/I (Inhalation/Rat) <br />• Boron: LD = 650 mg/kg (Oral/Rat) <br />b. No Skin (Dermal) Irritation data available for Stainless Steel (semi -Finished steel products) as a mixture. The following Skin (Dermal) Irritation <br />information was found for the components: <br />• Iron: Causes skin irritation <br />• Chromium (as Cr +VI): Corrosive. Human skin sensitizer <br />• Nickel: Slight irritation only in rabbits <br />• Molybdenum: Irritating <br />• Tungsten: Shin contact may cause irritation due to abrasive action of the dust <br />c. No Eye Irritation data available for Stainless Steel (semi -finished steel products) as a mixture. The following Eye Irritation information was found for the <br />components: <br />• Iron, Molybdenum: Causes eye irritation <br />• Silicon: Slight eye irritation in rabbit protocol <br />• Chromium (as Cr +VI): Corrosive <br />• Nickel: Slight eye irritation from particulate abrasion only. <br />• Tungsten: Eye contact may cause irritation due to abrasive action of the dust <br />d. No Skin (Dermal) Sensitization data available for Stainless Steel (semi -finished steel products) a mixture. The following Skin (Dermal) Sensitization <br />information was found for the components: <br />• Nickel: Human skin sensitizer <br />• Copper, Chromium (as Cr +VI): May cause allergic skin reaction <br />• Copper: It is reported that copper may induce allergic contact dermatitis in susceptible individuals <br />e. No Respiratory Sensitization data available for Stainless Steel (semi -finished steel products) a mixture. The following Respiratory Sensitization information was <br />found for the components: <br />• Chromium (as Cr+VI): Occupational asthma reported in workers <br />f No Germ Cell Mutagenicity data available for Stainless Steel (semi -finished steel products) as a mixture. The following Mutagenicity and Genotoxicity <br />information was found for the components: <br />• Iron: Some positive and negative findings in vitro <br />• Chromium (as Cr +VI): Positive in in vitro and in vivo assays including cell transformation in vitro and dominant lethal in vivo <br />• Nickel: Positive results in vitro and in vivo but insufficient data for classification <br />• Aluminum: Not mutagenic in vitro; but has marginal effects in vivo <br />g. Carcinogenicity: IARC, NTP, and OSHA do not list Stainless Steel (semi -finished steel products) as carcinogens. The following Carcinogenicity information <br />was found for the components: <br />• Welding Fumes, IARC Group 2B carcinogen, a mixture that is possibly carcinogenic to humans. <br />• Nickel and certain nickel compounds - IARC Group 2B carcinogens that are possibly carcinogenic to humans. Insoluble nickel compounds - ACGIH <br />confirmed human carcinogen. Nickel - EURAR Insufficient evidence to conclude carcinogenic potential in animals or humans; suspect carcinogen <br />classification Category 2 Suspected of causing cancer. Nickel Oxide - HSDB listed as Category 1a, may cause cancer. Human data in which exposure to nickel <br />refinery dust caused lung and nasal tumors. <br />• Chromium metal and trivalent chromium compounds - IARC Group 3 carcinogens, not classifiable as to their human carcinogenicity. <br />Hexavalent chromium compounds - IARC as Group 1 carcinogens, carcinogenic to humans. Chromium metal - ACGIH not classifiable as a human carcinogen. <br />NTP Fourth Annual report on Carcinogens cites "certain Chromium compounds" as human carcinogens. <br />h. No Toxic Reproduction data available for Stainless Steel (semi -finished steel products) as a mixture. The following Toxic Reproduction information was <br />found for the components: <br />• Hexavalent Chromium: Developmental toxicity in the mouse. <br />• Nickel: Oral administration to experinnental animals caused fetotoxicity. <br />• Aluminum: May cause delay in development of neurobehavioral indices. <br />I. No Specific Target Organ Systemic Toxicity (STOST) following a Single Exposure data available for Stainless Steel (semi -finished steel products) as a <br />mixture. The following STOST following a Single Exposure data was found for the components: <br />• iron, Molybdenum: May cause respiratory irritation. <br />Rev. Date May - 2015 6 PSM -SDS -SS <br />
