*  Hazards Identification  *
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES  Skin:NO  Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:YES    IARC:YES  OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ACUTE: FUMES AND GASES CAN CAUSE EYES
    AND UPPER RESPIRATORY SYSTEM IRRITATION, AND CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
    EFFECTS. ARC RAYS CAN INJURE EYES AND BURN SKIN. ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN
    KILL. NOISE CAN DAMAGE HEA RING. CHRONIC: NEUROLOGICAL DAMAGE, LUNG
    FIBROSIS, PNEUMOCONIOSIS.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NICKEL AND CHROMIUM ARE LISTED UNDER
    IARC AND NTP.
Effects of Overexposure:SHORT TERM EXPOSURE: NAUSEA, FEVER, DIZZINESS,
    DRYNESS, IRRITATION OF EYES, NOSE AND THROAT, SKIN SENSITIVITY,
    WATERY EYES, HEADACHE, BREATHING DIFFICULTY, FREQUENT COUGHING,
    SHORTNESS OF BREATH.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:AGGRAVATION OF EXISTING RESPIRATORY
    OR ALLERGIC CONDITIONS.HIGHER LEVEL OF LUNG RELATED PROBLEMS AMONG
    SMOKERS.
*  First Aid Measures  *
First Aid:INHALATION: REMOVE FROM EXPOSURE. IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT,
    GIVE OXYGEN. IF NOT BREATHING, GIVE CPR. IF NO DETECTABLE PULSE,
    GIVE HEART MASSAGE. EYES: FLUSH WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER FOR AT
    LEAST 1 5 MINUTES. SKIN: WASH WITH SOAP AND WATER. INGESTION: SEEK
    MEDICAL ATTENTION.
*  Fire Fighting Measures  *
Extinguishing Media:USE WATER FOG, CARBON DIOXIDE, FOAM, OR DRY
    CHEMICAL.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR FIRE FIGHTING PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND A
    FULL FACED SELF CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS. COOL FIRE EXPOSED
    CONTAINERS WITH WATER SPRAY.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:COMBUSTION OR HEAT OF FIRE MAY PRODUCE
    HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS AND VAPORS. WELDING ARCS AND
    SPARKS CAN IGNITE COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL.
*  Accidental Release Measures  *
Spill Release Procedures:CLEAN UP ANY GRINDING DUST OR WASTE RESIDUE
    AND PLACE IN APPROPIATE DISPOSAL CONTAINER. AVOID INHALATION AND
    SKIN EXPOSURE.
*Handling and Storage  *
Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN DRY AREA. ELECTRODES EXPOSED
    TO MOISTURE MAY EXPLODE VIOLENTLY IF USED. DRY MOIST RODS BY BAKING
Other Precautions:TRAIN WELDER TO KEEP HIS HEAD OUT OF THE FUMES.
    MONITOR AIR TO ENSURE ACCEPTABLE EXPOSURES. AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK
    BY MAINTAINING DRY WORK AREA.
*  Physical/Chemical Properties  *
HCC:N1
Solubility in Water:INSOLUBLE.
*  Stability and Reactivity Data  *
Stability Indicator/Materials to Avoid:YES
Stability Condition to Avoid:AVOID GENERATION OF AIRBORNE DUST.
Hazardous Decomposition Products:FUMES OF METALS AND METAL OXIDES FROM
    ELECTRODE AND BASE METAL, CARBON MONOXIDE, CARBON DIOXIDE, OZONE,
    NITROGEN OXIDES.
*  Disposal Considerations  *
Waste Disposal Methods:CONSULT WITH YOUR LOCAL ENVIRONMENTAL OFFICER.
    DISPOSE OF FUMES, FLUX OR WELD GRINDING RESIDUE FROM THE WORK AREA
    OR FROM FILTERS IN ACCORDANCE WITH FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL
    ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS.
