4250-2'
Overheating of alloy 00" produce metal fumes and oxides. Madllning o~lons
suCh ~s grinding. sawing, and '
buffing can gerlel'trte airbome partlculate in the wor1c area. The exposun! levels indll::ated in Section 11are
televant to these and other operatiQns.
The fOlloWing is symptoms of overexposure to the various ingredients:
Cadmium
CANCER CAUSING AGENTS
Dryness of throat headache, shortness of breath and vomiting may occur from overexposure
to fumes or dust.
lead
Inhalation of fumes or dust can cause dryness of throat, nausea. vomiting and chills.
POTENTJAL CANCER CAUSING AGENTS
Tin
Oust of tin oxide may cause pneumoconiosis.
.
.
Under certain Circumstances, carcmogenlc or reproductlVefy toXiC matenels contamed to some alloys can be
present in the fluids coming in contact with them and may be dangerous if ingested or released into the
environment.
FIRST AID:
Bums from molten metal mould be treated as you would a bum from hot gre8Se_
Overheating of metal may generate fumes alllllor particulate. If overelCpOSUfe Is suspected, employee should be
removed from area and 8 physiofan consulted.
Ingestion of appreciable quantities of alloy is unlikely to OOOUf.
VI. SPILL PROCEDURES
No special precautions are reqUired for spills of bulk material. scrap alloy can be reclaimed for reuse.
Follow Federal, State and local regulations for disposal.
VII. SpeCIAL
PROTECll0N INFORMAnoN
Where dust and fume levels are In excess of levels in Section U NIOSH approved respiratory protection should
be used. Heat resistant gloves should be worn when working with molten alloy. Eye proteotion should be wom
during machining operations or melting.
Villi. SPECIAL PRECAUnONS
Wash hands thoroughly before eating, smOking or applying cosmetics.
