SECTION 9 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION |
|
CARCINOGENICITY
|
According to OSHA CFR 1910-1200(Hazard
Communication) Nickel and certain Nickel compounds are deemed
to be possible cancer hazzards. This is based on assessment by
the U.S. NTP(National Toxicology Program) that they may reasonably
be anticipated to be carcinogens and an assessment of IARC(International
Agency of Research on Cancer) which concluded that there was
limited evidence of carcinogenicity to humans. There have been
no studies demonstrating any excess cancer risk in workers exposed
to Nickel metal powder, Nickel Oxide powder, Nickel Carbonate,
and Nickel Hydroxide in their use. Studies by Godbold & Cragle
did not demonstrate any excess respirable cancer risk among workers
exposed to Nickel powder of respirable size. Other studies involving
exposure to Nickel dust and fumes in refining, stainless steel
and alloy production have not shown any increased risk of respiratory
cancer. Also, there has been no evidence that workers exposed
to soluble Nickel Salts in their use have demonstrated any increased
risk of respiratory cancer. References will be furnished upon
request. |
