SECTION V HEALTH HAZARD DATA Electric arc*welding may create one or more of the following health hazards: fumes and oases can be dangerous to your teallh. Arc Rays can injure eyes and burn skin. Electric Shock can kill. EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE: "Short-term overexposure to welding fumes may result in discomfort such as: dizziness, t ea, or dryness or irritation of nose, throat, or eyes, tightness in chest, fever and allergic reactions, (see Sections 4 end fi `Long-term (chronic) overexposure to welding fumes may lead to siderosis (iron deposit in lungs) and i< beiisv-H by iC' Investigators to affect pulmonary function.

REACTIVITY DATA TABIUTY: UNSTABLE: NO'CONDITIONS TO AVOIO; NONE: UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED _______ STABLE: YESCONDITIONS TO AVOIO: NONE: UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED Compatibility (materials to avoid): none IAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Tho composition and quality of welding fumes and gases are depender* pon the metal being welded, the process, procedure, and electrodes used. Other conditions which also Influence tlL. . omposltlon and quantity of the fumes and gases to which workers may be exposed Include: coatings on the metal being /elded (such as paint, plating, or galvanizing), the number of welders and the volume of the work area, the quality and mount of ventilation, the position of the welder's head with respect to the fume plume, as well as the presence of ontamlnants In the atmosphere (such as chlorinated hydrocarbon vapors from cleaning and degreasing activities). Vhen the electrode Is consumed, the fume and gas decomposition products generated are different In percent and form 'om the Ingredients listed In Section 2. Fume and gas decomposition products, and not the Ingredients In the electrode, are mportant. The concentration of a given fume or gas component may decrease or Increase by many times the original :oncentratlon In the electrode. Also, new compounds not In the electrode may form. Decomposition products of normal iperatlon Include those originating (rom the volatilization, reaction, or oxidation of the materials shown In Section 2, plus nose from the base metal and coating, etc., as noted above. teas nably expected fuma constituents of these products could Include primarily xides of lickel; secondarily complex oxides of iron, chromium, manganese, silicon, titanium, copper, lolybdenum, aluminum and columblum. The OSHA permissible exposure limits snd ACCZH threshold limit value is'1.0mg/H^ for nickel and .OSng/M^ for hexavalent chromium. Voiding fumes may also contain fluorides and OSllA(PEL) and ACCXH(TLV) limits are 2.5iag/M3. It is :o be noted that all the above will result in significant reduction from the Smg/M^ general fume level. Basoous reaction products may Include carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. Ozone and nitrogen oxides may be formed jy the radiation from the arc. roc mmondod way to dctormlno the composition and quantity of fumoa and gasos to which workers are exposed Is to an air sample from Insldo the woldor's holmot If worn or In tho worker's breathing zono.

Olscard any product residue, Jlsposablo container or liner In an environmentally acceptable manner, In full compliance with Federal, State and Local egulatl ns. SECTION VIII SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION (See Note) 'Read and understand the manufacturer's Instructions and the precautionary label on the product. Ventilation - Use anough ventilation, local exhaust at the arc, or both, to koop the fumes and gases from the worker's breathing zone and the jeneral area. Train the welder to keep his head out of the fumes. 'Respiratory Protection - Use respirable fume respiratory jr air supplied respirator when welding In a confinod space or where local exhaust or ventilation does not keep exposure selow the recommended exposure limit. Eye Protection - Woar helmet or use face shield with filter lens. Provide protective screons and Hash goggles, If necessary, to shield others. As a rule of thumb start with a shade that Is too dark to see the weld :one. Then go the the next lighter shade which gives sufficient view of the weld zone. Protective Clothing - Wear hand, head, snd body protection which help to prevent Injury (rom radiation, sparks, and electrical shock. See ANSI Z49.1, At a nlnlmum this Includes woldcr's glovos and a protective face shlold, and may Include arm protectors, aprons, htts, shoulder orotectlon, as well as dark substantial clothing. Train the welder not to touch live electrical parts and to Insulate himself from tfork and ground."
