FormaMet ® - M MSDS No. L48 March 21, 2014Cobalt: May cause asthmatic attacks due to allergic sensitization of the respiratory tract. May cause asthma andshortness of breath.Copper: Inhalation of particulate containing metallic copper can cause ulceration and perforation of the nasalseptum.Lead: Lead can be absorbed through the respiratory system. In cases of acute exposure, symptoms such asmetallic taste, chest and abdominal pain, and increased lead blood levels may follow.2.2.2. IngestionIngestion can occur from hand, clothing, food and drink contact with particulate during hand to mouthactivities such as eating, drinking, smoking, nail biting, etc.Cobalt: May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. May cause allergic reaction.Copper: Copper ingestion causes nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, metallic taste, and diarrhea. Ingestion oflarge doses may cause stomach and intestine ulceration, jaundice, and kidney and liver damage.Lead: POISON! The symptoms of lead poisoning include abdominal pain and spasms, nausea, vomiting,headache. Acute poisoning can lead to muscle weakness, "lead line" on the gums, metallic taste, loss ofappetite, insomnia, dizziness, and high lead levels in blood and urine with shock, coma and death in extremecases.2.2.3. SkinSkin contact with this material may cause, in some sensitive individuals, an allergic dermal response. Skincontact may cause irritation. Symptoms include redness, itching and pain.Cobalt: Prolonged and/or repeated contact may cause dermatitis.Copper: Particulate may cause a greenish-black skin discoloration.Lead: Lead and lead compounds may be absorbed through the skin on prolonged exposure; the symptoms oflead poisoning described for ingestion exposure may occur.2.2.4. EyesExposure may result from direct contact with airborne particulate or contact to the eye with contaminatedhands or clothing. Damage can result from irritation or mechanical injury to the eyes by particulate.Copper: Particulate in the eyes may cause discoloration.Lead: Absorption can occur through eye tissues.2.2.5. Chronic (long-term health effects)Cobalt: Repeated exposure may cause allergic respiratory reaction (asthma). Chronic inhalation of particulatemay lead to restricted pulmonary function and lung fibrosis (scarring). Chronic ingestion may result in heartdamage and/or failure, vomiting, convulsions and thyroid enlargement. Repeated exposure may causesensitization dermatitis.Copper: Prolonged or repeated exposure to copper can discolor skin and hair and irritate the skin; may causemild dermatitis, runny nose, and irritation of the mucous membranes. Repeated ingestion may damage theliver and kidneys. Repeated Inhalation can cause chronic respiratory disease.Page 2 of 10
FormaMet ® - M MSDS No. L48 March 21, 2014Manganese: Substance may have carcinogenic potential. Chronic manganese toxicity through inhalation mayresult in "manganism", which is a disease of the central nervous system involving psychic and neurologicaldisorders.Lead: Lead absorption in the body is cumulative. The concentration of lead in the blood is an important aspectof assessing exposure and potential adverse health effects. Excessive concentration may cause neuromusculardysfunction accompanied by signs of weakness. Chronic lead poisoning has been associated with kidneydisorders.2.2.6. Carcinogenic ReferencesCobalt: The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) lists cobalt as a Group 2B – PossiblyCarcinogenic to Humans.Lead: The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) lists lead as a Group 2B – PossiblyCarcinogenic to Humans. The National Toxicology Program (NTP) lists lead as reasonably anticipated to be ahuman carcinogen.2.2.7. Medical Conditions Aggravated by ExposurePersons with impaired pulmonary function, airway diseases, or conditions such as asthma, emphysema, chronicbronchitis, etc. may incur further impairment if particulate is inhaled. If prior damage or disease to theneurologic (nervous), circulatory, hematologic (blood), or urinary (kidney) systems has occurred, properscreening or examinations should be conducted on individuals who may be exposed to further risk wherehandling and use of this material may cause exposure.Copper: Persons with pre-existing skin disorders or impaired liver, kidney, or pulmonary function or preexistingWilson's disease may be more susceptible to the effects of this material.Lead: Persons with pre-existing kidney, nerve or circulatory disorders or with skin or eye problems may bemore susceptible to the effects of this substance.2.3 POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTSSee Ecological Information (Section 12)3.
