EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: orange needles.
Warning! Causes eye, skin, and respiratory tract
irritation. Harmful if swallowed, inhaled, or absorbed through the
skin. May cause allergic skin reaction. Cancer suspect agent.
Target Organs: Lungs, respiratory system, skin.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye irritation.
Skin:
Causes skin irritation. Causes "nickel itch" which is a dermatitis
resulting from sensitization to nickel, which is characterized by
skin eruptions, followed by discrete ulcers that may discharge and
become crusted, or by eczema.
Ingestion:
Harmful if swallowed. May cause irritation of the digestive tract.
Inhalation:
Harmful if inhaled. Causes respiratory tract irritation.
Chronic:
May cause cancer in humans. Symptoms of overexposure to nickel can
cause sensitization, dermatitis, allergic asthma and pneumonitis.
|
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
|
Eyes:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes,
occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid imme
diately.
Skin:
Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Ingestion:
If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical
aid immediately.
Inhalation:
Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not
breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult,
give oxygen. Get medical aid.
Notes to Physician:
Treat symptomatically and supportively.
