POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS

ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS

SWALLOWED

  Accidental ingestion of the material may be harmful; animal experiments indicate that ingestion of less than 150 gram may be fatal or may produce serious damage to the health of the individual.  The material can produce chemical burns within the oral cavity and gastrointestinal tract following ingestion.  

EYE

  The material can produce chemical burns to the eye following direct contact. Vapors or mists may be extremely irritating.  If applied to the eyes, this material causes severe eye damage.  The material may be irritating to the eye, with prolonged contact causing inflammation. Repeated or prolonged exposure to irritants may produce conjunctivitis.  

SKIN

  The material can produce chemical burns following direct contactwith the skin.  The material may cause skin irritation after prolonged or repeated exposure and may produce on contact skin redness, swelling, the production of vesicles, scaling and thickening of the skin.  

INHALED

  If inhaled, this material can irritate the throat andlungs of some persons.  The material may produce respiratory tract irritation, and result in damage to the lung including reduced lung function.  

CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS

  The primary route of exposure is via skin contact.  Chronic human toxicosis due to copper is found only in those rare individuals  who have inherited a particular pair of abnormal autosomal recessive genes and  in whom, as a consequence, hepatolenticular degeneration (Wilson's disease)  develops. Chronic toxicity can cause damage to the liver, central nervous  system, kidney, bones and eyes.            (Source: ILO Encyclopeadia)  Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be removed by  skilled personnel. Ingestion may cause abdominal pain, vomiting and  diarrhoea. Copper is an essential trace element in the body, but can be  toxic in excessive exposures. Inhalation may cause coughing, sore throat  and irritation of upper respiratory tract.
