| SECTION 11-TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION | |
THE PRIMARY COMPONENT OF THIS PRODUCT IS IRON. LONG-TERM EXPOSURE TO
IRON DUSTS OR FUMES CAN RESULT IN A CONDITION CALLED SIDEROSIS WHICH
IS CONSIDERED TO BE A BENIGN PNEUMOCONIOSIS. SYMPTOMS MAY INCLUDE CHRONIC
BRONCHITIS, EMPHYSEMA, AND SHORTNESS OF BREATH UPON EXERTION. PENETRATION
OF IRON PARTICLES IN THE SKIN OR EYE MAY CAUSE AN EXOGENOUS OR OCULAR
SIDEROSIS WHICH MAY BE CHARACTERIZED BY A RED-BROWN PIGMENTATION OF
THE AFFECTED AREA. INGESTION OVEREXPOSURES TO IRON MAY AFFECT THE
GASTROINTESTINAL, NERVOUS, AND HEMATOPOIETIC SYSTEM AND THE LIVER.
LRON AND STEEL FOUNDING, BUT NOT IRON OR IRON OXIDE, HAS BEEN LISTED
AS POTENTIALLY CARCINOGENIC (GROUP 1) BY IARC.
WHEN THIS PRODUCT IS WELDED, FUMES ARE GENERATED. WELDING FUMES MAY BE
DIFFERENT IN COMPOSITION FROM THE ORIGINAL WELDING PRODUCT, WITH CHIEF
COMPONENT BEING ORDINARY OXIDES OF THE METAL BEING WELDED. CHRONIC HEALTH
EFFECTS (INCLUDING CANCER) HAVE BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH THE FUMES AND DUSTS
OF INDIVIDUAL COMPONENT METALS (SEE ABOVE), AND WELDING FUMES AS A GENERAL
CATEGORY HAVE BEEN LISTED BY IARC AS A CARCINOGEN (GROUP 28). THERE IS
ALSO LIMITED EVIDENCE THAT WELDING FUMES MAY CAUSE ADVERSE REPRODUCTIVE
AND FETAL EFFECTS. EVIDENCE IS STRONGER WHERE WELDING MATERIALS CONTAIN
KNOWN REPRODUCTIVE TOXINS, E.G., LEAD WHICH MAY BE PRESENT IN THE COATING
MATERIAL OF THIS PRODUCT.
BREATHING FUMES OR DUSTS OF THIS PRODUCT MAY RESULT IN METAL FUME FEVER,
WHICH IS AN ILLNESS PRODUCED BY INHALING METAL OXIDES. THESE OXIDES ARE
PRODUCED BY HEATING VARIOUS METALS INCLUDING CADMIUM, ZINC, MAGNESIUM,
COPPER, ANTIMONY, NICKEL, COBALT, MANGANESE, TIN, LEAD, BERYLLIUM, SILVER,
CHROMIUM, ALUMINUM, SELENIUM, IRON, AND ARSENIC. THE MOST COMMON AGENTS
INVOLVED ARE ZINC AND COPPER.
THIS PRODUCT MAY CONTAIN SMALL AMOUNTS OF MANGANESE. PROLONGED EXPOSURE
TO MANGANESE DUSTS OR FUMES IS ASSOCIATED WITH "MANGANISM", A
PARKINSON-LIKE SYNDROME CHARACTERIZED BY A VARIETY OF NEUROLOGICAL
SYMPTOMS INCLUDING MUSCLE SPASMS, GAIT DISTURBANCES, TREMORS, AND
PSYCHOSES.
THIS PRODUCT MAY CONTAIN SMALL AMOUNTS OF CADMIUM. PRIMARY TARGET ORGANS
FOR CADMIUM OVEREXPOSURE ARE THE LUNGS AND THE KIDNEY. BECAUSE OF ITS
CUMULATIVE NATURE, CHRONIC CADMIUM POISONING CAN CAUSE SERIOUS DISEASE
WHICH TAKES MAY YEARS TO DEVELOP AND MAY CONTINUE TO PROGRESS DESPITE
CESSATION OF EXPOSURE. PROGRESSION OF THE DISEASE MAY NOT REFLECT CURRENT
EXPOSURE CONDITIONS. IT IS ALSO CAPABLE OF CAUSING A PAINFUL OSTEOMALACIA
CALLED "ITAI-ITAI" IN POSTMENOPAUSAL WOMEN, AND HAS CAUSE DEVELOPMENTAL
EFFECTS AND/OR REPRODUCTIVE EFFECTS IN MALE AND FEMALE ANIMALS. CADMIUM
IS A LISTED CARCINOGEN BY NTP, OSHA, AND IARC (GROUP 1).
THIS PRODUCT MAY CONTAIN SMALL AMOUNTS OF CHROMIUM. PROLONGED AND
REPEATED OVEREXPOSURE TO CHROMIUM DUSTS OR FUMES MAY CAUSE SKIN ULCERS,
NASAL IRRITATION AND ULCERATION, KIDNEY DAMAGE AND CANCER OF THE
RESPIRATORY SYSTEM. CHROMIUM IS A SKIN SENSITIZER. CANCER IS GENERALLY
ATTRIBUTED TO THE HEXAVALENT (+6) FORM OF CHROMIUM WHICH IS LISTED AS A
CARCINOGEN BY NTP AND IARC (GROUP 1).
THIS PRODUCT MAY CONTAIN SMALL AMOUNTS OF NICKEL. PROLONGED AND REPEATED
CONTACT WITH NICKEL MAY CAUSE SENSITIZATION DERMATITIS. INHALATION OF
NICKEL COMPOUNDS HAS CAUSED LUNG DAMAGE AS WELL AS SINUS, NASAL, AND LUNG
CANCER IN LABORATORY ANIMALS. NICKEL IS A LISTED CARCINOGEN BY NTP AND
IARC (GROUP 1).
THIS PRODUCT MAY CONTAIN SMALL AMOUNTS OF VANADIUM. ADVERSE EFFECTS FROM
DERMAL, INHALATION OR PARENTERAL EXPOSURE TO VARIOUS VANADIUM COMPOUNDS
HAVE BEEN REPORTED. THE MAJOR TARGET FOR VANADIUM PENTOXIDE TOXICITY
IS THE RESPIRATORY TRACT. FUMES OR DUST CAN CAUSE SEVERE EYE AND
RESPIRATORY IRRITATION, AND SYSTEMIC EFFECTS. CHRONIC BRONCHITIS,
GREEN TONGUE, CONJUNCTIVITIS, PHARYNGITIS, RHINITIS, RALES, CHRONIC
PRODUCTIVE COUGH, AND TIGHTNESS OF THE CHEST HAVE BEEN REPORTED FOLLOWING
OVEREXPOSURE. ALLERGIC REACTIONS RESULTING FROM SKIN AND INHALATION
EXPOSURES HAVE ALSO BEEN REPORTED. A STATISTICAL ASSOCIATION BETWEEN
VANADIUM AIR LEVELS AND LUNG CANCER HAD BEEN SUGGESTED, BUT VANADIUM
CURRENTLY IS NOT REGARDED AS A HUMAN CARCINOGEN.
THIS PRODUCT MAY CONTAIN SMALL AMOUNTS OF LEAD. LEAD CAN ACCUMULATE IN
THE BODY. CONSEQUENTLY EXPOSURE TO FUMES OR DUST MAY PRODUCE SIGNS OF
POLYNEURITIS, DIMINISHED VISION AND PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY, SUCH AS
TINGLING AND LOSS OF FEELING IN FINGERS, ARMS AND LEGS. LEAD IS A
KNOWN REPRODUCTIVE AND DEVELOPMENTAL TOXIN. IT IS ALSO ASSOCIATED
WITH CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DISORDERS, ANEMIA, KIDNEY DYSFUNCTION,
AND NEUROBEHAVIORAL ABNORMALITIES. THE BRAIN IS A MAJOR TARGET ORGAN
FOR LEAD EXPOSURE, ELEMENT LEAD IS LISTED AS AN IARC 2B CARCINOGEN.
THE PRODUCT MAY CONTAIN SMALL AMOUNTS OF COPPER. COPPER DUST AND FUME CAN
IRRITATE THE EYES, NOSE AND THROAT CAUSING COUGHING, WHEEZING, NOSEBLEEDS,
ULCERS AND METAL FUME FEVER. OTHER EFFECTS FROM REPEATED INHALATION OF
COPPER FUME INCLUDE A METALLIC OR SWEET TASTE, AND DISCOLORATION OF SKIN,
TEETH, OR HAIR. COPPER ALSO MAY CAUSE AN ALLERGIC SKIN REACTION.
OVEREXPOSURE TO COPPER CAN AFFECT THE LIVER.
