II <br /> Eye contact : Aluminum dust can irritate the eyes ( mechanical abrasion ) . <br /> YJ IngeStion * . Not applicable . <br /> Chronic Effects : ! <br /> Ingestion and inhalation : Aluminum fumes generated during welding or meltin <br /> ll <br /> present low health risks . High concentrations of manganese dust can affec 14 <br /> the central, nervous system ( apathy , drowsiness , weakness and other symptom ;l <br /> resembling Parkinson ' s disease ) . Lead compounds bioaccumulate . The mos 4 <br /> frequent chronic effects are anemia , kidneys and central nervoua damages { ) <br /> Medical InUrvi3jislanceshould be undertaken to prevent high blood levelsaa ; I <br /> Medical conditions aggravated by exposure to the product : Not determined . <br /> SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES <br /> Inhalation : In case of digdomfort , remove to Ventilated are * If discomfort <br /> persists Consult a physician . ! � <br /> Skin contact : In case of burns with hot metal , rinse with plenty of cold <br /> water . if burn is severe , consult a physician . care to tinge under <br /> Eye contact : Flush eyes thoroughly with water , taking <br /> eyelids . If irritation perBists , continue flushing for 15 minutesi, j <br /> rinsing from time to time under eyelids * if discomfort continues ,, ' <br /> consult a physician . <br /> 'Ingestions Not applicable . <br /> SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES . <br /> Extinguishing Media : Not a fire hazard unless in particle form . Suspension <br /> of aluminum dust in air may pose a severe hazard . A potential. fo*c <br /> explosion exists for a mixture of fine and coarssse particles if at leas <br /> 1ST to 20 % of the material is finer than 44 microns ( 325 mesh) . 8uffir1i <br /> and polishing generate finer material than grinding , sawing an' <br /> cutting . In case of aluminum fires , use class D dry-powder extinguisher . <br /> Do not use water or halogenated extinguishing media . <br /> SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE <br /> Recycle . Aluminum in the form of particles may b'ss reactive and its <br /> he <br /> characteristics should be determined prior to disposal . <br /> gill <br /> SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE i • <br /> Handling Precautions : Because of the risk of explosion , aluminum ingots ar"d <br /> metal scrap should be thoroughly dried prior to remelting . use standard <br /> techniques to check metal temperature before handling . Hot 41uminum does not <br /> present any warning calor change . Exercise % great caution ► since the metal m ;;y <br /> be ho <br /> t .
