Engineering Controls
Ventilation should be sufficient to effectively remove and prevent buildup of any dusts or fumes that may be
generated during handling or thermal processing.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Personal Protective Equipment: Eyes/Face
Wear safety glasses with side shields.
Personal Protective Equipment: Skin
Use impervious gloves.
Personal Protective Equipment: Respiratory
When dusts or thermal processing fumes are generated and ventilation is not sufficient to effectively remove
them, appropriate NIOSH/MSHA approved respiratory protection must be provided.
Personal Protective Equipment: General
Use good industrial hygiene practices in handling this material.

Mutagenicity
Aluminum and cobalt have been shown to increase the number of sister chromatid exchanges. Nickel inhibited
DNA repair and induced transformation in experimental assays.
Teratogenicity
Manganese and aluminum have been shown to have teratogenic effects. Manganese, copper and nickel have
been reported to have adverse reproductive effects in experimental animals. Copper and nickel have been shown
to be fetotoxic in experimental animals. Excessive zinc levels have been reported to be associated with increased
risk for neural tube defects. Lead has a wide variety of reproductive effects in humans. It can affect both the male
and female reproductive organs as well as egg and sperm production and development. Lead can also cause
neurodevelopmental debilitations in children from both prenatal and postnatal exposures.
Neurological Effects
Chronic overexposure to manganese compounds may result in CNS effects such as weakness, sleepiness,
emotional instability and spastic gait. These effects can be permanent. Symptoms of lead toxicity include
behavioral disturbances including irritability, restlessness, insomnia, and other sleep disturbances, fatigue,
vertigo, headache, poor memory, tremor, depression, and apathy. In acute lead encephalopathy, neurological
damage can be permanent. Inhalation of fine aluminum particles has produced progressive encephalopathy,
followed by dementia and convulsions.
Other Toxicological Information
Under normal conditions of handling, the likelihood of inhaling or ingesting amounts necessary for these effects to
occur is very small.
