SWALLOWED
Not normally a hazard due to the physical form of product. The material is a
physical irritant to the gastro-intestinal tract.
EYE
?Particulate bodies from welding spatter may be removed carefully.
?DO NOT attempt to remove particles attached to or embedded in eye.
?Lay victim down, on stretcher if available and pad BOTH eyes, make sure
dressing does not press on the injured eye by placing thick pads under dressing,
above and below the eye.
?Seek urgent medical assistance, or transport to hospital.
SKIN
If skin or hair contact occurs:
?Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available).
?Seek medical attention in event of irritation.
INHALED
?If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area.
?Lay patient down. Keep warm and rested.
?Prostheses such as false teeth, which may block airway, should be removed,
where possible, prior to initiating first aid procedures.
?Apply artificial respiration if not breathing, preferably with a demand valve
resuscitator, bag-valve mask device, or pocket mask as trained. Perform CPR if
necessary.
?Transport to hospital, or doctor.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN
Copper, magnesium, aluminium, antimony, iron, manganese, nickel, zinc (and their
compounds) in welding, brazing, galvanising or smelting operations all give rise
to thermally produced particulates of smaller dimension than may be produced if
the metals are divided mechanically. Where insufficient ventilation or

Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
respiratory protection is available these particulates may produce "metal fume
fever" in workers from an acute or long term exposure.
?Onset occurs in 4-6 hours generally on the evening following exposure.
Tolerance develops in workers but may be lost over the weekend. (Monday Morning
Fever)
?Pulmonary function tests may indicate reduced lung volumes, small airway
obstruction and decreased carbon monoxide diffusing capacity but these
abnormalities resolve after several months.
?Although mildly elevated urinary levels of heavy metal may occur they do not
correlate with clinical effects.
?The general approach to treatment is recognition of the disease, supportive
care and prevention of exposure.
?Seriously symptomatic patients should receive chest x-rays, have arterial
blood gases determined and be observed for the development of tracheobronchitis
and pulmonary edema.
[Ellenhorn and Barceloux: Medical Toxicology].
?Manifestation of aluminium toxicity include hypercalcaemia, anaemia, Vitamin D
refractory osteodystrophy and a progressive encephalopathy (mixed
dysarthria-apraxia of speech, asterixis, tremulousness, myoclonus, dementia,
focal seizures). Bone pain, pathological fractures and proximal myopathy can
occur.
?Symptoms usually develop insidiously over months to years (in chronic renal
failure patients) unless dietary aluminium loads are excessive.
?Serum aluminium levels above 60 ug/ml indicate increased absorption. Potential
toxicity occurs above 100 ug/ml and clinical symptoms are present when levels
exceed 200 ug/ml.
?Deferoxamine has been used to treat dialysis encephalopathy and osteomalacia.
CaNa2EDTA is less effective in chelating aluminium.
[Ellenhorn and Barceloux: Medical Toxicology].

INGREDIENT DATA
WELDING FUMES:
In addition to complying with any individual exposure standards for specific
contaminants, where current manual welding processes are used, the fume
concentration inside the welder's helmet should not exceed 5 mg/m? when
collected in accordance with the appropriate standard (AS 3640, for example).
ES* TWA: 5 mg/m?br>
TLV* TWA: 5 mg/m? B2 (a substance of variable composition)
OES* TWA: 5 mg/m?br>
Most welding, even with primitive ventilation, does not produce exposures inside
the welding helmet above 5 mg/m? That which does should be controlled (ACGIH).
Inspirable dust concentrations in a workers breathing zone shall be collected
and measured in accordance with AS 3640, for example. Metal content can be
analytically determined by OSHA Method ID25 (ICP-AES) after total digestion of
filters and dissolution of captured metals. Sampling of the Respirable Dust
fraction requires cyclone separator devices (elutriators) and procedures to
comply with AS 2985 (for example).

SILICA WELDING FUMES:
Not available. Refer to individual constituents.
OZONE:
NOTE: Detector tubes for ozone, measuring in excess of 0.05 ppm, are
commercially available.
Exposure at 0.2 ppm appears to produce mild acute but not cumulative
effects. It is thought that exposures of the order of 0.1 ppm will be
tolerated by most workers including asthmatics. Chronic exposure at
0.1 ppm or more can induce significant adverse effects in the lower
respiratory tract of both normal and atopic individuals.
Human exposure for 2 hours at an average concentration of 1.5 ppm ozone
resulted in a 20% reduction in timed vital capacity of the lung and other
effects. Concentrations of ozone in excess of a few tenths ppm cause
occasional discomfort to exposed individuals manifest as headache, dryness
of the throat and mucous membranes of the eyes and nose following
exposures of short duration.
Exposure to ozone during moderate to heavy work loads results in
significantly decreased forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory
volume in one second (FEV1) at 0.12 ppm; this is effect is greater at
higher concentrations.

OTHER
Aprons, sleeves, shoulder covers, leggings or spats of pliable flame resistant
leather or other suitable materials may also be required in positions where
these areas of the body will encounter hot metal.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
Special ventilation requirements apply for processes which result in the
generation of aluminium, copper, fluoride, manganese or zinc fume.
?For work conducted outdoors and in open work spaces, the use of mechanical
(general exhaust or plenum) ventilation is required as a minimum. (Open work
spaces exceed 300 cubic meters per welder)
?For indoor work, conducted in limited or confined work spaces, use of
mechanical ventilation by local exhaust systems is mandatory. (In confined
spaces always check that oxygen has not been depleted by excessive rusting of
steel or snowflake corrosion of aluminium)
Local exhaust systems must be designed to provide a minimum capture velocity at
the fume source, away from the worker, of 0.5 metre/sec. Air contaminants
generated in the workplace possess varying "escape" velocities which, in turn,
determine the "capture velocities" of fresh circulating air required to
effectively remove the contaminant.
Type of Contaminant: Air Speed:
welding " brazing fumes (released at 0.5-1.0 m/s (100-200 f/min.)
relatively low velocity into
moderately still air)
Within each range the appropriate value depends on:
Lower end of the range Upper end of the range
1: Room air currents minimal or 1: Disturbing room air currents
favourable to capture
2: Contaminants of low toxicity or of 2: Contaminants of high toxicity

3: Intermittent, low production. 3: High production, heavy use
4: Large hood or large air mass in 4: Small hood-local control only
motion
Simple theory shows that air velocity falls rapidly with distance away from the
opening of a simple extraction pipe. Velocity generally decreases with the
square of distance from the extraction point (in simple cases). Therefore the
air speed at the extraction point should be adjusted, accordingly, after

reference to distance from the contaminating source. The air velocity at the
extraction fan, for example, should be a minimum of 1-2 m/s (200-400 f/min.) for
extraction of welding or brazing fumes generated 2 meters distant from the
extraction point. Other mechanical considerations, producing performance
deficits within the extraction apparatus, make it essential that theoretical air
velocities are multiplied by factors of 10 or more when extraction systems are
installed or used.
If risk of overexposure exists, wear SAA approved respirator.

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
INHALED
Fumes evolved during welding operations may be irritating to the
upper-respiratory tract and may be harmful if inhaled.
Aluminium fume, as aluminium oxide, is a respiratory tract irritant. Inhalation
of freshly formed metal oxide particles sized below 1.5 microns and generally
between 0.02 to 0.05 microns may result in "metal fume fever". Symptoms may be
delayed for up to 12 hours and begin with the sudden onset of thirst, and a
sweet, metallic or foul taste in the mouth. Other symptoms include upper
respiratory tract irritation accompanied by coughing and a dryness of the mucous
membranes, lassitude and a generalised feeling of malaise. Mild to severe
headache, nausea, occasional vomiting, fever or chills, exaggerated mental
activity, profuse sweating, diarrhoea, excessive urination and prostration may
also occur. Tolerance to the fumes develops rapidly, but is quickly lost. All
symptoms usually subside within 24-36 hours following removal from exposure.
Harmful levels of ozone may be found when working in confined spaces. Symptoms
of exposure include irritation of the upper membranes of the respiratory tract
and lungs as well as pulmonary (lung) changes including irritation, accumulation
of fluid (congestion and oedema) and in some cases haemorrhage. Exposure may
aggravate any pre-existing lung condition such as bronchitis, asthma or
emphysema.
Shielding gases may act as simple asphyxiants if significant levels are allowed
to accumulate. Oxygen monitoring may be necessary.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
Metallic dusts generated by the industrial process give rise to a number of
potential health problems. The larger particles, above 5 micron, are nose and
throat irritants. Smaller particles however, may cause lung deterioration.
Particles of less than 1.5 micron can be trapped in the lungs and, dependent on
the nature of the particle, may give rise to further serious health
consequences. Ozone is suspected to produce lung cancer in laboratory animals;
no reports of this effect have been documented in exposed human populations.
Other welding process exposures can arise from radiant energy UV flash burns,
thermal burns or electric shock The welding arc emits ultraviolet radiation at
wavelengths that have the potential to produce skin tumours in animals and in
over-exposed individuals, however, no confirmatory studies of this effect in
welders have been reported.
