| SECTION XI: TOXICOLOGY INFORMATION | |
ZINC (Zn):
EXCESSIVE INHALATION OF ZINC OXIDE FUMES MAY PRODUCE SYMPTOMS KNOWN AS
"ZINC SHAKES" WHICH ARE FLU-LIKE AND USUALLY CEASE WHEN THE INDIVIDUAL IS
REMOVED FROM THE SOURCE.
COPPER (Cu):
EXCESSIVE INHALATION OF FUMES FROM MANY METALS CAN PRODUCE AN ACUTE
REACTION KNOWN AS "METAL FUME FEVER". SYMPTOMS CONSIST OF CHILLS AND FEVER
WHICH COME ON A FEW HOURS AFTER A LARGE EXPOSURE. LONG-TERM AFFECTS OF
METAL FUME FEVER HAVE NOT BEEN NOTED.
PHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECTS:
INDUSTRIAL EXPOSURE TO COPPER FUMES, DUSTS, OR MISTS RESULTS IN METAL FUME
FEVER WITH ATROPHIC CHANGES IN NASAL MUCOUS MEMBRANES. CHRONIC POISONING
RESULTS IN WILSON'S DISEASE, CHARACTERIZED BY A HEPATIC CIRRHOSIS, BRAIN
DAMAGE, DEMYELINATION, RENAL DISEASE, AND COPPER DEPOSITION IN THE CORNEA.
ALUMINUM (Al):
INHALATION OF FINELY DIVIDED POWDER HAS BEEN REPORTED AS A CAUSE OF
PULMONARY FIBROSIS. MAY BE IMPLICATED IN ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE.
*NOTE:
IT IS UNLIKELY THAT NORMAL EXPOSURE (USING APPROPRIATE PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT) TO THIS SOLDER WOULD RESULT IN ILLNESS.
