<br /> Effects of Overexposure
<br /> Short term exposure to fumes/dust may produce irritation of eyes and respiratory system. Inhalation of high concentrations of
<br /> freshly formed oxide fumes of copper and lead may cause metal fume fever characterized by a metallic taste in the mouth,
<br /> dryness of the throat and influenzalike symptoms.
<br /> Inhalation or ingestion of lead particles may result in lead-induced systemic toxicity. Symptoms of lead poisoning include
<br /> abdominal cramps,anemia,muscle weakness and headache. Prolonged exposure can cause behavioral changes,kidney
<br /> damage,CNS damage and reproductive effects.
<br /> Nickel is listed in the 3rd Annual Report on Carcinogens as prepared by the National Toxicology Program(NTP}. Exposure to
<br /> high concentrations of dust and fumes can cause sensitization dermatitis,inflammation and/or ulceration of upper respiratory tract
<br /> and possibly cancer of nasal passages and lungs.
<br /> Recent epidemiological studies of workers melting and working alloys containing nickel/chromium have found no increased risk of
<br /> cancer.
