    NEUROLOGICAL PROBLEMS; ABNORMAL KIDNEY FUNCT ION; LUNG FIBROSIS AND
    CHRONIC BRONCHITIS.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NICKEL & CRYSTALLINE SILICA HAVE BEEN
    IDENTIFIED BY IARC AND/OR NTP AS POTENTIAL CANCER CAUSING AGENTS.
Effects of Overexposure:EYE IRRITATION, REDNESS, PAIN & CONJUNCTIVITIS;
    NAUSEA, VOMITING & WEAKNESS; EXCESSIVE SALIVATION, COLIC, VIOLENT
    DIARRHEA, CONVULSIVE TREMORS; INTESTINAL BLOCKAGE; CHILLS, FEVER &

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

First Aid:INHALATION: REMOVE FROM EXPOSURE. IF SEVERE RESPIRATORY
    IRRITATION PERSISTS, SEE DOCTOR. VICTIM MAY EXHIBIT " METAL FUME
    FEVER". EYE: FLUSH PARTICLES FROM EYE WITH CLEAN WATER FOR 15
    MINUTES. IF IRRIT ATION PERSISTS SEE DOCTOR. SKIN: WAS WITH SOAP
