Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:MANUFACURER INDICATES ON THEIR MSDS
    THAT THERE ARE NO CHEMICAL HAZARD FROM THESE ALLOY GRADES IN THE
    SOLID FORM. HOWEVER, COPPER FUMES AND DUST IRRITATE THE NOSE AND
    THROAT. IF TOO MUCH FUME IS INHALE D,IT WILL CAUSE A SWEET OR
    METALIC TASTE IN THE MOUTH.HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF THE FUMES CAN
    CAUSE METAL FUME FEVER.INHALING EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF COPPER DUST
    AND FUMES OVER A LONG PERIOD OF TIME CAN CAU SE ANEMIA.THE DUST CAN
    ALSO CAUSE SKIN AND EYE IRRITATION AFTER SHORT EXPOSURE.EXCESSIVE
    MANAGANESE EFFECTS THE CNS WITH SYMPTOMS SUCH AS APATHY,LOSS OF
    APPETITE,INSOMNIA FOLLOWED BY SLEEPINESS,HEADAC HE,LEG
    CRAMPS,SPEECH DISTURBANCE.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:SOME FORMS OF NICKEL HAVE BEEN FOUND TO
    CAUSE CANCER IN ANIMALS. IARC HAS LISTED CRYSTALLINE SILICA AS
    CLASS 2A, PROBABLY CAN CAUSE LUNG CANCER.CHROMIUM,LEAD AND NICKEL
    HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AS POTENTI AL HUMAN CARCINOGEN.
Effects of Overexposure:INHALING EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF COPPER DUST AND
    FUMES OVER A LONG PERIOD OF TIME CAN CAUSE ANEMIA.THE DUST CAN ALSO
    CAUSE SKIN AND EYE IRRITATION AFTER SHORT EXPOSURE.EXCESSIVE
    MANAGANESE EFFECTS THE CN S WITH SYMPTOMS SUCH AS APATHY,LOSS OF

*  First Aid Measures  *
First Aid:EYE: FLUSH WELL WITH RUNNING WATER TO REMOVE PARTICULATE. GET
    MEDICAL ATTENTION. SKIN: VACUUM OFF EXCESS DUST. WADSH WELL WITH
    SOAP AND WATER. AVOID BLOWING PARTICULATE INTO THE ATMOSPHERE.
    CONTACT WI TH THESE ALLOY GRADES IN THE MOLTEN CONDITION WILL CAUSE
    SEVERE BURNS. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH
    AIR. INGESTION: SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IF LARGE QUANTITIES OF
    MATERIAL HAVE BE EN INGESTED.
*  Fire Fighting Measures  *
Lower Limits:NA
Upper Limits:NA
Extinguishing Media:SMALLSOLID, MASSIVE  FORM IS NOT COMBUSTIBLE UNDER
    NORMAL CONDITIONS. USE FIRE FIGHTING METHODS THAT ARE APPROPRIATE
    FOR SURROUNDING FIRE.
Fire Fighting Procedures:DUST CLOUDS MAY BE EXPLOSIVE. PREVENT
    FORMATION OF A DUST CLOUD.SOLID MASSIVE FORM IS NOT COMBUSTIBLE
    UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS. USE FIRE FIGHTING METHODS THAT ARE
    APPROPRIATE FOR SURROUNDING FIRE.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:MOLTEN METAL ALLOYS MAY EXPLODE ON
    CONTACT WITH WATER. THEY MAY ALSO REACT VIOLENTLY WITH WATER, RUST
    AND CERTAIN OTHER METAL OXIDES (E.T. OXIDES OF COPPER, IRON AND
    LEAD).

*  Toxicological Information*
Toxicological Information:ALUMINUM DUST/FUMES ARE A LOW RISK HAZARD BY
    INHALATION AND ARE NORMALLY TREATED AS NUISANCE IN NORMAL
    OPERATIONS. CHRNOINC EXPOSURE MAY CAUSE PULMONARY FIBROSIS
    CHARACTERIZED BY BREATHING DIFFICULTY, COUGHING,SHORTNESS OF
    BREATH,WHEEZING AND OTHER RESPIRATORY DIFFICULTY.CHROMIUM ACTS AS
    ALLERGENS,MAY CAUSE DERMITITIS.CHROMIC ACID AND CHROMATES HAVE A
    DIRECT CORROSIVE EFFECT ON THE SKIN AND THE MUC OUS MEMBRANES OF
    THE UPPER RESPIRATORY SYSTEM.COBALT HAS BEEN REPORTED AS CAUSING
    HYPERSENSITIZATION TYPE DERMITIS IN INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE
    SUSCEPTIBLE, COMBINED WITH SMALL AMOUNTS OF SILICA PRODUCES SE
    RIOUS PNEUMOCONIOSIS. SEE OTHER INFORM
