Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NICKEL: IARC MONOGRAPHS ON EVALUATION OF
    2B. (ING 5)
Effects of Overexposure:HLTH HAZ: PRLNG INHAL OF GRAPHITE/CARBON DUSTS
    MAY CAUSE PULM FIBROSIS, EMPHYSEMA & PNEUMOCONIOSIS. SEV OF THESE
    EFTS IS GREATLY INFLUENCED BY PRESENCE OF OTHER HARMFUL MINERAL

    NICKEL POWDER. NO EXPOS TO FREE RESP NICKEL ANTICIPATED DURING
    NORMAL USE.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:PREEXISTING PULMONARY AND
    DERMATOLOGICAL DISORDERS MAY BE AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE TO HAZARDOUS
    COMPONENTS.
*  First Aid Measures  *
    MED ATTN, IF IRRIT PERSISTS. SKIN: WASH W/SOAP & WATER. GET MED
    ATTN IF IRRIT DEVELOPS/PERSISTS. INHAL: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. MED
    PERS MAY A DMIN OXYGEN IF BRTHG IS DFCLT. SEEK MEDATTN IF SYMP
    PERSIST. INGEST: DO NOT INDUCE VOMIT. GIVE VICTIM GLASS OF
    WATER/MILK. CALL MD/POIS CTL CTR IMMED. NEVER GIVE ANYTHING BY
    MOUTH TO UNCON PERS.
*  Fire Fighting Measures  *
Extinguishing Media:USE DRY CHEMICAL, FOAM, WATER FOG.
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE NIOSH/MSHA APPRVD SCBA & FULL PROT EQUIP.
    HALOGENATED EXTING AGENTS (SUCH AS HALON) SHOULD NOT BE USED. TO
    CTL SPREAD OF FIRE, DO NOT USE WATER; (SUP DAT)
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:FINELY DIVIDED DUST IN AIR MAY PRESENT
    EXPLO HAZ. PVNT DUST BUILDUP. CLSD CONTRS MAY RUPTURE/EXPLODE (DUE
    TO PRESS BUILDUP) WHEN EXPOS TO EXTREME HEAT.(SUP DAT)
*  Accidental Release Measures  *
