**** SECTION 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL
INFORMATION ****
Acute toxicity:
Primary irritant effect:
on the skin: Powder: irritant effect
on the eye: Powder: irritant effect
Sensitization:
Sensitization possible through skin contact.
Other information (about experimental toxicology):
Tumorigenic
effects have been observed on tests with laboratory animals.
Subacute to chronic toxicity:
Nickel and nickel compounds may cause a form of dermatitis known as nickel
itch. They may also cause intestinal disorders, convulsions and asphyxia.
Airborne nickel contaminated dusts are regarded as carcinogenic to the
respiratory tract.
Additional toxicological information:
To
the best of our knowledge the acute and chronic toxicity of this substance is
not fully known.
EPA-A: human carcinogen: sufficient evidence from epidemiologic studies to
support a causal association between exposure and cancer.
IARC-2B: Possibly carcinogenic to humans: limited evidence in humans in the
absence of sufficient evidence in experimental animals.
NTP-2: Reasonably anticipated to be a carcinogen: limited evidence from studies
in humans or sufficient evidence from studies in experimental animals.
ACGIH A5: Not suspected as a human carcinogen: Not suspected as a human
carcinogen on the basis of properly conducted epidemiologic studies in humans.
Studies have sufficiently long follow-up, reliable exposure histories,
sufficiently high dose, and adequate statistical power to conclude that
exposure to the agent does not convey a significant risk of cancer to humans.
Evidence suggesting a lack of carcinogenicity in experimental animals will be
considered if it is supported by other relevant data.
The Registry of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances (RTECS) contains
tumorigenic and/or carcinogenic and/or neoplastic data for components in this
product.
