    Fire Fighting Measures

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

     

    Accidental Release Measures

    Person related precautionary

    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:             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 packed nickel chloride 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.

    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 chloride 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.

    Toxicological Information 3

    Nickel Chloride

    Inhalation:      The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) in 1990 and the U.S. Tenth Report on Carcinogens in 2002 concluded that here was sufficient evidence that nickel compounds are carcinogenic to humans. In 1999 Toxicology Excellence for Risk Assessment (TERA) found that carcinogenic risk from soluble nickel compounds via inhalation could not be determined because the existing evidence was composed of conflicting data.

    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 sulfate and nickel chloride and to insoluble forms of nickel. Electrolysis plant workers in an Ontario refinery similarly exposed to nickel sulfate and nickel chloride aerosols, but not the dust from matte roasting operations, did not show any increased incidence of respiratory cancer.

    There is no evidence from animal studies that soluble nickel compounds are carcinogenic by relevant routes of exposure.

    Exposure to aerosols of nickel chloride causes irritation of the upper respiratory tract and may cause asthma.

    Skin Contact:    Prolonged and intimate contact with aerosols and solutions of nickel chloride can cause skin irritation, nickel sensitivity and allergic skin rashes.

    Eye Contact:     May cause irritation.

    Ingestion:       Ingestion of relatively large doses of solutions of nickel chloride may cause nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has affirmed that nickel is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) as a direct human food ingredient. The U.S. National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health concluded that there is no evidence that nickel and its inorganic compounds are carcinogenic by route of ingestion.

    Preexisting Conditions:      Skin contact can cause an allergic 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 chloride 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.
