Potential Health Effects
----------------------------------
Inhalation: Causes irritation to the respiratory tract. Symptoms may
include coughing, sore throat, and shortness of breath. Lung damage may result
from a single high exposure or lower repeated exposures. Lung allergy
occasionally occurs, with asthma type symptoms.
Ingestion: Toxic. Symptoms may include abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea,
and vomiting. Absorption is poor, but should it occur, symptoms may include
giddiness, capillary damage, myocardial weakness, central nervous system
depression, and kidney and liver damage.
Skin Contact: Causes irritation. May cause skin allergy with itching,
redness or rash. Some individuals may become sensitized to the substance and
suffer "nickel itch", a form of dermatitis.
Eye Contact: Causes irritation, redness, and pain.
Chronic Exposure: Prolonged or repeated exposure to excessive
concentrations may affect lungs, liver and kidneys. Chronic exposure to nickel
and nickel compounds is associated with cancer.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions: Persons with pre-existing skin
disorders, impaired respiratory or pulmonary function, or with a history of
asthma, allergies, or sensitization to nickel compounds may be at an increased
risk upon exposure to this substance.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing,
give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical
attention.
Ingestion: Induce vomiting immediately as directed by medical personnel.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical attention.
Skin Contact: Wipe off excess material from skin then immediately flush
skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing
and shoes. Get medical attention. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean
shoes before reuse.
Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes, lifting lower and upper eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention
immediately.
Fire: Not combustible, but substance is a strong
oxidizer and its heat of reaction with reducing agents or combustibles may cause
ignition. Increases the flammability of any combustible material.
Explosion: Contact with oxidizable substances may cause extremely violent
combustion. Strong oxidants may explode when shocked, or if exposed to heat,
flame, or friction. Also may act as initiation source for dust or vapor
explosions.
Fire Extinguishing Media: Water or water spray in early stages of fire.
Foam or dry chemical may also be used.
Special Information: Wear full protective clothing and breathing
equipment for high-intensity fire or potential explosion conditions.
Remove all sources of ignition. Ventilate area of leak or spill. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in Section 8.
Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Protect against physical damage and moisture. Isolate from any source of heat or ignition. Avoid storage on wood floors. Separate from incompatibles, combustibles, organic or other readily oxidizable materials. Areas in which exposure to nickel metal or soluble nickel compounds may occur should be identified by signs or appropriate means, and access to the area should be limited to authorized persons. Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (dust, solids); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product.
Airborne Exposure Limits: -OSHA Permissible Exposure
Limit (PEL):
soluble Nickel compounds as Ni: 1 mg/m3 (TWA)-ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV):soluble
Nickel compounds as Ni: 0.1 mg/m3 (TWA), A4 - Not classifiable as a human
carcinogen
Ventilation System: A system of local and/or general exhaust is
recommended to keep employee exposures below the Airborne Exposure Limits. Local
exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions
of the contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general
work area. Please refer to the ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation, A
Manual of Recommended Practices, most recent edition, for details.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved): If the exposure limit is exceeded
and engineering controls are not feasible, a full facepiece particulate
respirator (NIOSH type N100 filters) may be worn for up to 50 times the exposure
limit or the maximum use concentration specified by the appropriate regulatory
agency or respirator supplier, whichever is lowest. If oil particles (e.g.
lubricants, cutting fluids. glycerine, etc.) are present, use a NIOSH type R or
P filter. For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are not known,
use a full-facepiece positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. WARNING:
Air-purifying respirators do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient
atmospheres.
Skin Protection: Rubber or neoprene gloves and additional protection
including impervious boots, apron, or coveralls, as needed in areas of unusual
exposure.
Eye Protection: Use chemical safety goggles and/or full face shield where
dusting or splashing of solutions is possible. Maintain eye wash fountain and
quick-drench facilities in work area.
Other Control Measures: Eating, drinking, and smoking should not be
permitted in areas where solids or liquids containing soluble nickel compounds
are handled, processed, or stored. NIOSH recommends pre-placement and periodic
medical exams, with maintaining of records for all employees exposed to nickel
in the workplace.
