First Aid Measures

Ingestion           Large quantities of water should be drunk. Seek medical attention.

Inhalation          Seek medical attention.

Skin              Wash thoroughly with water. For rashes seek medical advice.

Show data sheet if possible.

Eyes                Irrigate eyeball thoroughly with water for at least 10 minutes.

If discomfort persists seek medical attention.

Wounds           Cleanse thoroughly to remove any nickel sulphate particles.

Fire Fighting Measures

Non-flammable. May evolve toxic sulphur containing gases if involved in a fire. Extinguish surrounding fires with appropriate methods.

Accidental Release Measures

Person related precautionary

measures:          measures: Wear waterproof gloves and suitable protective clothing. Avoid generation of dusty atmospheres. Do not inhale dusts. Wear appropriate nationally approved respirators if collection and disposal of spills is likely to cause the concentration limits of airborne nickel to exceed the locally prescribed exposure limits.

Environmental Protection

measures:            Do not allow spills to enter watercourses . Dispose of spills in accordance with local regulations.

Procedures for

cleaning/absorption:   Collect spills by sweeping or vacuuming with the vacuum exhaust passing through a high efficiency particulate arresting (HEPA) filter if exhaust is discharged into the work place. Nickel-containing material is normally collected to recover nickel values.

Handling and Storage

Handling:             P Prevent the generation of inhalable dusts e.g. by the use of suitable ventilation. Do not inhale dust. Wear appropriate protective clothing, including waterproof gloves and nationally approved respirators. As packaged, nickel sulphate may constitute a manual handling risk.

Storage:              Keep in the container supplied, and keep container closed when not in use. Local regulations should be followed regarding the storage of this product.

Exposure Controls / Personal Protection

* - as Ni in inhalable fraction

. - as Ni in soluble fraction

Maintain airborne nickel levels as low as possible.

Occupational exposure controls:

a. Respiratory protection:   Do not inhale dust. Ventilation is normally required when handling or using this product to keep airborne nickel sulphate below the nationally authorized limits. If ventilation alone cannot control exposure, use respirators nationally approved for the purpose.

b. Eye protection:          Avoid eye contact. Wear goggles or face shield

c.Hand & Skin Protection:  Avoid skin contact. Wear suitable protective clothing and waterproof gloves. Wash skin thoroughly after handling and before eating, drinking or smoking. Launder clothing and gloves as needed.

Physical and Chemical Properties

Green/yellow deliquescent crystals. Slight acidic odor if wet.

Stability and Reactivity

Conditions to be avoided:  Stable at ambient temperatures.

Substances to be avoided:  None.

Hazardous decomposition

products:               At high temperatures toxic sulphur containing gases may be evolved.

Toxicological Information ³

Nickel Sulphate

LD50 oral, rat: 275 mg/kg (as Nickel sulfate hexahydrate)

Inhalation:      The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) concluded there was sufficient evidence that nickel compounds are carcinogenic to humans.

Epidemiological studies of Norwegian nickel refinery workers showed than an increased risk of respiratory cancer was present in electrolysis plant workers. These workers had mixed exposure to aerosols of nickel sulphate and nickel chloride and to insoluble forms of nickel. Electrolysis plant workers in an Ontario refinery similarly exposed to nickel sulphate and nickel chloride aerosols, but not the dust from matte roasting operations, did not show any increased incidence of respiratory cancer.

Exposure to aerosols of nickel sulphate can cause asthma and irritation of Repeated intraperitoneal injections (50 x 1 mg Ni) of nickel sulphate in rats produced abdominal tumors.

Although certain recent studies have helped to clarify the potential carcinogenicity of soluble nickel compounds, such as nickel sulphate, there still remain some ambiguities in our precise understanding. There have been inconsistencies within the human epidemiological data regarding the role of soluble nickel in carcinogenesis. Recently completed animal studies using a relevant route of exposure, performed by the National Toxicology Program in the USA, have indicated that soluble nickel species are not carcinogenic themselves. There is no evidence from animal studies that nickel compounds are carcinogenic by relevant routes of exposure.

Skin Contact:    Exposure to aerosols and solutions of nickel sulphate can cause skin irritation, nickel sensitivity and allergic skin rashes.

Eye Contact:     May cause irritation.

Wounds:        Neither single nor repeated intramuscular injections of nickel sulphate have resulted in the development of tumors in rodents.

Ingestion:      The U.S. National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) concluded there is no evidence that nickel and its inorganic compounds are carcinogenic when ingested.

Preexisting

Conditions:      Contact can cause an allergic skin rash and/or asthma in previously sensitized individuals.

Reproductive

Toxicity:        Animal experiments indicate that soluble nickel ingestion causes adverse effects on fetal development at a threshold oral exposure of 2.2 mg/ Ni/kg/day by pregnant rats. Data are insufficient to determine if this effect occurs in humans and no regulatory agency has classified soluble forms of nickel as reproductive risks for humans.

Ecological Information

After ecotoxicity testing, Nickel sulphate is classified as very toxic. It requires labeling with the Environment pictogram.

Labels must carry the risk phrase Toxic to aquatic life.

Disposal Considerations

Nickel containing material is normally collected to recover nickel values. Should disposal be deemed necessary follow local regulations. Take special note of the ecological classification. Transport Information

Classified as dangerous goods for all makes of transport.

Regulatory Information

In Europe, Nickel sulphate is subject to the Control of Major Accident Hazards Directives 82/501EEC, 96/82/EC & 98/433/EC (The Seveso Directive). Follow local regulations regarding the storage of this material.
