Contact with the heated material may cause <br />thermal burns. <br />Skin Contact <br />Dusts or particulates may cause mechanical irritation due to abrasion. Coated steel may cause skin irritation <br />in sensitive individuals (see Section 16 for additional information.) Some components In this product are <br />capable of causing an allergic reaction, possibly resulting in buming, itching and skin eruptions. Contact with <br />heated material may cause thermal burns. <br />Inhalation <br />Dusts may cause Irritation of the nose, throat, and lungs. Excessive Inhalation of metallic fumes and dusts <br />may result in metal fume fever, an influenza-Ilke illness. It Is characterized by a sweet or metallic taste in the <br />mouth, accompanied by dryness and irritation of the throat, cough, shortness of breath, pulmonary edema, <br />general malaise, weakness, fatigue, muscle and joint pains, blurred vision, fever and chills. Typical symptoms <br />last from 12 to 48 hours. <br />Ingestion and chemical properties of the product <br />Not expected to be acutely toxic via ingestion based on the physical <br />Swallowing of excessive arnounts of the dust may cause Irritation, nausea, and diarrhea. <br />Potential Fire and Explosion Hazards <br />Under normal conditions, steel products do not present fire or explosion hazards, and dust generated by <br />handling steel products is oxidized and not combustible. Processing of steel product by some individual <br />customers may produce potentially combustible dust that may represent a fire or explosion hazard. <br />Chronic or Special Toxic Effects <br />Repeated exposure to fine dusts may Inflame the nasal mucosa and cause changes to the lung. In addition, <br />a red -brown pigmentation of the eye andlor skin may occur. Welding fumes have been associated with <br />adverse health effects.
