In user operations where copper fuse is generated. Inhalation of the fine can result in symptoms of "Metal Fuse Fever" such as chills, fever and sweating. A few instances of allergic skin rashes have been reported in workers with akin exposure to metallic copper. In the eyes, copper aetal as a foreign body can provoke an inflasmatory reaction resulting in pus formation in the conjunctiva, cornea or sclera. Ingestion of copper aetal aay causa gastrointestinal upset. Wilson's disease can occur in certain individuals with a rare, inherited aetabolic disorder characterised by retention of excessive amounts of copper in the liver, brain, kidneys and corneas. These deposits eventually lead to tissue necrosis and fibrosis, causing a variety of clinical effects, especially liver dieses/ neurologic changes. Wilson's disease is progressive and, if untreated, leads to fatal liver failure.

The International Agency for Research on Cancer (LAIC) concluded there was sufficient evidence that nickel and nickel compounds, as a group but not necessarily as Individual chemicals, were carcinogenic to humans. IARC could not state with certainty which specific nickel compounds arc human carcinogens snd which era not. Epidemiological studies of workers exposed to nickel powder and to dust and fuse generated In the production of nickel alloys and of stainleas atssl have not Indicated the presence of a significant respiratory cancer hasard. The inhalation of nickel powder has not resulted In an Increased Incidence of malignant tumors In rodents. Repeated intratracheal Instillation of nickel powder produced an Increased incidence of aalignant lung tisaora in rata, but did not produce an Increased Incidence In hamsters whan administered at the marlnais tolerated dose. Bowever, single intratracheal instillations of nickel pemder In hamsters at doses near tha IS have produced an Increased Incidence of fibrosarcomas. 30 mesotheliomas and rhabdomyoaareaaaaa.

Acuta exposures to this aatarlal will irritate the respiratory tract. Chronic inhalation (after 10 - 20 years) can produce/*" silicosis (a pneumoconiosis of the lungs) with symptom of dyspnea, couth, wheezing and repeated, non-specific cheat ilinesea. Impairment of pulmonary function nay be progressive. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (XARC) he. concluded there was United evidence that crystalline silica was carcinogenic to himens and sufficient evidence that it was carcinogenic to aniaala. IARC states that a number of studies have sboea that persons diagnosed as having silicosis have an increased risk of dying fron lung cocer.

Use air-supplied respirator in confined spaces. Use only HIOSH approved respirators in accordance with 29 CTR 1910.13k - Respiratory Protection. Use local exhaust *dian welding. Maintain exposures below acceptable exposure Units. attention to provision of adequate ventilation and/or air-supplied respirators. Eye Protection ad Protective Clothing: Confined spaces require special Protective equlpnent la required whan welding. Hear gloves, face protection aad flans retardant clothing. Do not expose skin or eyes to the heat and radiation from welding operations. Select welding lens shade from the American Melding Society publication F2.2. cMaintain exposures below tha acceptable exposure Units. Use industrial hygiene air aoaitorlng to ensure that your use of this siaterlal does not create exposures which exceed tha reccnaandad exposure limits. Always use exhaust ventilation in user welding operations.

If irritation persists, task medical help. Skin contact: Wash skin with soap and water to rmsove any metallic particles. If a rash develops, seek medical attention. Inhalation: Remove fron exposure. If severe respiratory irritation persists, seek nedlcal help. Excessive inhalation of sane metal hast can produce mi acute reaction known as "Metal Fume Fever" with symptoms of chills and fever similar to flu ayuigitoem. Theae symptoms appear within a few hours of exposure; however, long term effects have not been noted froa isolated instances of excessive exposure. Ingestion: If syaptena of ingestion arise, seek nodical help. IX. SPILL AKD DISPOSAL HI I WEB: Vacuum or shovel any spilled material into a suitable container.
