EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: yellow powder.
Warning! Toxic. Harmful if swallowed. May cause
allergic skin reaction. Cancer hazard. May cause eye, skin, and
respiratory tract irritation.
Target Organs: Skin.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause eye irritation.
Skin:
May cause severe irritation and possible burns. May cause
dermatitis. 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. Causes gastrointestinal irritation with
nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
Inhalation:
May cause allergic respiratory reaction. Inhalation may be fatal as
a result of spasm, inflammation, edema of the larynx and bronchi,
chemical pneumonitis and pulmonary edema. May cause burning
sensation, coughing, wheezing, laryngitis, shortness of breath,
headache, nausea, and vomiting.
Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause sensitization
dermatitis and possible destruction and/or ulceration. May cause
respiratory tract cancer. 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.
Skin:
Get medical aid. Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at
least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion:
Do not induce vomiting. 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. Do NOT use mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation.
Notes to Physician:
Treat symptomatically and supportively.

Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures
|
General Information:
As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in
pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full
protective gear. Water runoff can cause environmental damage. Dike
and collect water used to fight fire. During a fire, irritating and
highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or
combustion.

|
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
|
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable disposal
container. Reduce airborne dust and prevent scattering by moistening
with water. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in
the Protective Equipment section. Avoid generating dusty conditions.
Carefully scoop up and place into appropriate disposal container.
Isolate area and deny entry.
|
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
|
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Use with adequate ventilation. Minimize dust
generation and accumulation. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid
ingestion and inhalation.
Storage:
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible
substances.
|
Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection
|
Engineering Controls:
Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped
with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate
ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low.
