Section 3 - Hazards Identification
Emergency Overview
This formed solid metal product poses little or no immediate health or fire hazard. When product is subjected to welding,
burning, melting, sawing, brazing, grinding or other similar processes, potentially hazardous airborne particulate and fumes
may be generated. These operations should be performed in well-ventilated areas. Avoid inhalation of metal dusts and
fumes. Iron or steel foreign bodies imbedded in the cornea of the eye will produce rust stains unless removed promptly. If
appropriate, respiratory protection and other personal protective equipment should be used.
Potential Health Effects
Primary Entry Routes: Inhalation and skin, if coated. Steel products in the natural state do not present an inhalation, ingestion or contact
hazard. However, operations such as burning, welding, sawing, brazing, machining and grinding may result in the following effects if exposures
exceed recommended limits as listed in Section 2.
Target Organs: Respiratory system
Acute Effects:
Inhalation: Excessive exposure to high concentrations of dust may cause irritation to the eyes, skin and mucous membranes of the upper
respiratory tract. Excessive inhalation of fumes of freshly formed metal oxide particles sized below 1.5 microns and usually between
0.02-0.05 microns from many metals can produce an acute reaction known as "metal fume fever". Symptoms consist of chills and fever
(very similar to and easily confused with flu symptoms), metallic taste in the mouth, dryness and irritation of the throat followed by
weakness and muscle pain. The symptoms come on in a few hours after excessive exposures and usually last from 12 to 48 hours.
Long-term effects from metal fume fever have not been noted. Freshly formed oxide fumes of manganese have been associated with
causing metal fume fever. Inhalation of chromium compounds may cause upper respiratory tract irritation. Sulfur compounds, present
in generated fumes, may irritate the gastrointestinal tract.
Eye: Particles of iron or iron compounds could become imbedded in the eye. Torching or burning operations on steel products with
surface treatments, oil coatings, or acrylic films may produce emissions that can be irritating to the eyes. Sulfur compounds, present in
generated fumes, may irritate the eyes.
Skin: Skin contact with metallic fumes and dusts may cause physical abrasion. Sulfur compounds, present in generated fumes, may
irritate the skin. If applicable, repeated or prolonged contact with chemical surface treatments or oil residue may cause skin irritation,
dermatitis, ulceration or allergic reactions in sensitized individuals.
Ingestion: Ingestion of harmful amounts of this product as distributed is unlikely due to its solid insoluble form. Ingestion of dust may
cause nausea or vomiting.
Chronic Effects: Chronic inhalation of metallic fumes and dusts are associated with the following conditions:
IRON OXIDE: Chronic inhalation of excessive concentrations of iron oxide fumes or dusts may result in the development of a benign
pneumoconiosis, called siderosis, which is observable as an X-ray change. No physical impairment of lung function has been associated
with siderosis. Inhalation of excessive concentrations of ferric oxide may enhance the risk of lung cancer development in workers
exposed to pulmonary carcinogens. Iron oxide is listed as a Group 3 (not classifiable) carcinogen by IARC (the International Agency for
Research on Cancer).
BISMUTH: Bismuth absorption through intact skin is considered negligible with minor absorption through broken skin. Bismuth is
poorly absorbed through the intestinal tract but chronic ingestion or inhalation may lead to symptoms manifested as irritation of the
mouth; excessive salivation; a foul breath odor; skin lesions; headache; appetite loss; abdominal pain; diarrhea; vomiting; or damage to
the nervous system, liver, or kidneys.
CARBON: Chronic inhalation of high concentrations to carbon may cause pulmonary disorders.

MSDS ID No.: AM USA - 007 Carbon Steel Rod or Bar Revision: 7/23/09
CHROMIUM: The health hazards associated with exposure to chromium are dependent upon its oxidation state. The metal form
(chromium as it exists in this product) is of very low toxicity. The hexavalent form is very toxic. Repeated or prolonged exposure to
hexavalent chromium compounds may cause respiratory irritation, nosebleed, ulceration and perforation of the nasal septum. Industrial
exposure to certain forms of hexavalent chromium has been related to an increased incidence of cancer. The National Toxicology
Program (NTP) Fourth Annual report on Carcinogens cites "certain Chromium compounds" as human carcinogens. ACGIH has
reviewed the toxicity data and concluded that chromium metal is not classifiable as a human carcinogen
LEAD: Lead compounds can be toxic when ingested or inhaled. Lead is a cumulative poison. The predominant effects of excessive
exposure are anemia, nervous system disorders, and kidney damage. Nervous system disorders may be displayed as irritability,
headaches, insomnia, convulsions, muscular tremors, or palsy of the extremities. Excessive exposure can have adverse effects on human
reproduction. IARC concludes that there is inadequate evidence to list lead or lead compounds as a human carcinogen. Acute exposure
to lead can be manifested as abdominal pain, nausea, constipation, anorexia, or vomiting; and, in severe cases coma or death.
MANGANESE: Chronic exposure to high concentrations of manganese fumes and dusts may adversely affect the central nervous system
with symptoms including languor, sleepiness, weakness, emotional disturbances, spastic gait, mask-like facial expression and paralysis.
Animal studies indicate that manganese exposure may increase susceptibility to bacterial and viral infections.
MOLYBDENUM: Certain handling operations, such as burning and welding, may generate both insoluble molybdenum compounds
(metal and molybdenum dioxide) and soluble molybdenum compounds (molybdenum trioxide). Molybdenum compounds generally
exhibit a low order of toxicity with the trioxide the more toxic. However, some reports indicate that the dust of the molybdenum metal,
molybdenum dioxide and molybdenum trioxide may cause eye, skin, nose and throat irritation in animals.
NICKEL: Inhalation may result in inflammation of the respiratory tract that may be accompanied by fever. Nickel compounds are
known sensitizers. The National Toxicology Program (NTP) and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) report they
possess limited evidence for human cancer for nickel and certain nickel compounds.
SELENIUM: Selenium itself is relatively no-reactive. Some compounds may cause skin irritation, blisters or rash. Exposure is usually
through inhalation, although ingestion and skin absorption are routes of entry for some selenium compounds. Possible metallic taste in
the mouth, metal fume fever, garlic odor breath, or indigestion is possible. Potential liver or kidney damage from high exposure.
SILICON: Silicon dusts are a low health risk by inhalation and should be treated as a nuisance dust. Eye contact with pure material can
cause particulate irritation. Skin contact with silicon dusts may cause physical abrasion.
SULFUR (sulfur dioxide): Inhalation of sulfur dioxide gas can cause nose and throat irritation resulting in sneezing or coughing with
possible lacrimation. Sulfur dioxide affects the respiratory tract, causing bronchial irritation, difficulty in breathing, and pulmonary
edema.
TELLURIUM: Inhalation of tellurium has reportedly resulted in loss of appetite, nausea, dryness of the mouth and metallic taste, and
garlic odor of the breath and sweat.
VANADIUM: Inhalation of vanadium oxides may result in metallic taste, throat irritation, cough and/or bronchitis. Contact may cause
local irritation.
Long-term inhalation exposure to high concentrations (over-exposure) to pneumoconiotic agents may act synergistically with inhalation
of oxides, fumes or dusts of this product to cause toxic effects.
Carcinogenicity: IARC, NTP, and OSHA do not list steel products as carcinogens. IARC identifies nickel and certain nickel
compounds and welding fumes as Group 2B carcinogens that are possibly carcinogenic to humans. ACGIH lists insoluble nickel
compounds as confirmed human carcinogens. IARC lists chromium metal and trivalent chromium compounds as Group 3 carcinogens,
not classifiable as to their human carcinogenicity. Hexavalent chromium compounds are listed by IARC as Group 1 carcinogens that are
carcinogenic to humans. NTP Fourth Annual report on Carcinogens cites "certain Chromium compounds" as human carcinogens.
ACGIH has reviewed the toxicity data and concluded that chromium metal is not classifiable as a human carcinogen.
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Long-Term Exposure: Individuals with chronic respiratory disorders (i.e., asthma, chronic bronchitis,
emphysema, etc.) may be adversely affected by any fume or airborne particulate matter exposure.
SARA Potential Hazard Categories: Immediate Acute Health Hazard, Delayed Chronic Health Hazard.
Section 4 ?First Aid Measures
Inhalation: For over-exposure to airborne fumes and particulate, remove exposed person to fresh air. If breathing is difficult or has stopped,
administer artificial respiration or oxygen as indicated. Seek medical attention promptly.
Eye Contact: Flush with large amounts of clean water to remove particles. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash affected areas with soap or mild detergent and water. If thermal burn has occurred, flush
area with cold water and seek medical attention. If mechanical abrasion has occurred, seek medical attention.
Ingestion: Not a probable route of industrial exposure. However, if ingested, obtain medical advice.

Section 7 ?Handling and Storage
Handling Precautions: Use lifting and work devices, e.g., crane, hoist, etc., within rated capacities and in accordance with manufacturer's
instructions when handling these products. Operations with the potential for generating high concentrations of airborne particles should be
evaluated and controlled as needed. Minimize generation of airborne dust and fume. Avoid breathing metal dust or fumes. Practice good
housekeeping.
Storage Requirements: Store away from acids and incompatible materials.
Section 8 - Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
Engineering Controls: Use controls as appropriate to minimize exposure to metal fumes and dusts during handling operations.
Ventilation: Provide general or local exhaust ventilation systems to minimize airborne concentrations. Local exhaust ventilation is preferred
because it prevents contaminant dispersion into the work area by controlling it at its source.
Administrative Controls: Do not use compressed air to clean-up accumulated material or dust. Minimize generation of airborne emissions.
Respiratory Protection: Seek professional advice prior to respirator selection and use. Follow OSHA respirator regulations (29 CFR 1910.134)
and, if necessary, wear a NIOSH-approved respirator. Select respirator based on its suitability to provide adequate worker protection for given
working conditions, level of airborne contamination, and presence of sufficient oxygen.
Protective Clothing/Equipment: For operations which result in elevating the temperature of the product to or above its melting point or result in
the generation of airborne particulates, use protective clothing, gloves and safety glasses to prevent skin and eye contact. Contact lenses should
not be worn where industrial exposures to this material are likely. Use safety glasses or goggles as required for welding, burning, sawing,
brazing, grinding or machining operations. Protective gloves should be worn as required for welding, burning or handling operations. Where oil
coating is applied to the product, wear gloves when handling, do not continue to use gloves or work clothing that has become saturated or
