. Inhalation:
Product may be mildly irritating to the nose, throat and
respiratory tract and may cause coughing and sneezing.
Excessive contact
with powder may cause drying of mucous membranes of nose and throat due to
absorption of moisture and oils.
May cause staining, metal fume fever,
pulmonary fibrosis and pneumoconiosis.
See "Other Health Effects" Section.
. Skin Contact:
This product may cause irritation due to abrasive action.
Excessive contact with powder may cause drying of the skin due to absorption
of moisture and oils.
May cause defatting, drying and cracking of the skin.

Other Health Effects:
Effects (irritancy) on the skin and eyes may be
delayed, and damage may occur without the sensation or onset of pain.
Strict
adherence to first aid measures following any exposure is essential.
May cause staining, metal fume fever, pulmonary fibrosis and
pneumoconiosis.
Metal fume fever can be caused by inhalation of fumes formed
in the air from welding or heating the
metal.
Symptoms of metal fume fever
occur about 4 to 12 hours after exposure and usually last about 24 hours.
Recovery is complete with no apparent permanent disability.
The symptoms
resemble the "flu" and include:
sweating, shivering, headache, fever,
chills, thirstiness, muscle aches, nausea, vomiting, weakness and tiredness.
