product Titanium Section 6-Health Hazard Data NOTE. STEEL PRODUCTS IN THE NATURAL STATE DO NOT PRESENT AN INHALATION,INGESTION OR CONTACT HAZARD. HOWEVER,OPERATIONS SUCH AS BURN3NG.WELDING,SAWING,BRAZING AND GRINDING MAY RELEASE FUMES ANWOR DUSTS WHICH MAY PRESENT HEALTH HAZARDS IF TLV'S ARE EXCEEDED MAJOR EXPOSURE HAZARD KInhatation El Skin Contact ❑Skin Absorption -_]Eye Contact [lingesuon Fnacls of O�erexpoiiwe The toxicity of titanium dioxide has been found to be relatively inert. Skin contact with titanium dust may cause physical abrasion. Eye contact with pure material has shown particulate irritation. Aluminum and molybdenum dustlfines and fumes are low health risk by inhalation and should be treated as a nuisance dust. Inhalation of high concentrations of freshly formed oxide fumes of iron,manganese and copper may cause metal fume fever, characterized by a metallic taste in the mouth,dryness and irritation of the throat and influenzalike symptoms. Chromium and nickel and their compounds are listed in the 3rd Annual Repoi l on Carcinogens,as prepared by the National Toxicology Program(NTP). Exposure to high concentrations of dust and fumes can cause sensitization dermatitus,inflammation and/or ulceration of upper respiratory tract and possible cancer of nasal passages and lungs. Recent epidemiological studies of workers melting and working alloys containing nickel/chromium have found no increased risk of cancer. Suspected Cancer Agent?
