Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES  Skin:YES  Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO    IARC:NO	OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:FUMES AND GASES CAN BE DANGEROUS TO
    YOUR HEALTH. ARC RAYS CAN INJURE EYES AND BURN SKIN. SKIN CANCER
    HAS BEEN REPORTED. ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL. IF WELDING MUST BE
    PERFORMED IN DAMP LOCATIONS OR WITH  WET CLOTHING, ON METAL
    STRUCTURES OR WHEN IN CRAMPT POSITIONS SUCH AS SITTING, KNEELING OR
    LYING, IF THERE IS A HIGH RISK OF UNAVOIDABLE OR ACCIDENTAL CONTACT
    WITH WORKPIECE, USE THE FOLLOWING EQUIPME NT: SEMIAUTOMATIC DC
    WELDER, DC MANUAL (STICK) WELDER, OR AC WELDER WITH REDUCED VOLTAGE
    CONTROL.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NONE PROVIDED BY MFR
Effects of Overexposure:SHORT-TERM (ACCUTE) OVEREXPOSURE TO WELDING
    FUMES MAY RESULT IN DISCOMFORT SUCH AS METAL FUNE FEVER, DIZZINESS,
    NAUSEA, OR DRYNESS OR IRRITATION OF NOSE, THROAT, OR EYES. 
    EXPOSURE TO EXTREMELY HIGH L EVELS OF FLUORIDES CAN CAUSE ABDOMINAL
    PAIN, DIARRHEA, MUSCULAR WEAKNESS, AND CONVULSIONS. IN EXTREME
    CASES IT CAN CAUSE LOSS OF CONSCIOUSNESS AND DEATH. LONG-TERM
    (CHRONIC) OVEREXPOSURE TO WELDING FU MES CAN LEAD TO SIDROSIS (IRON
    DEPOSITS IN LUNG) AND MAY AFFECT PULMONARY FUNCSTION. MANGANESE
    OVEREXPOSURE CAN AFFECT THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM, RESULTING IN
    IMPAIRED SPEECH AND MOVEMENT.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:MAY AGGRAVATE PRE-EXISTING
    RESPIRATORY PROBLEMS (E.G. ASTHMA, EMPHYSEMA).

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:CALL FOR MEDICAL AID. EMPLOY FIRST AID TECHNIQUES RECOMMENDED
