ACUTE EFFECTS
Eye Contact: Direct contact with product can cause eye irritation.
Skin Contact: Prolonged contact may lead mild skin irritation, folliculitis, oil acne, and dermatitis.
Inhalation: Breathing vapors, mists, or fumes may cause irritation to respiratory tract, especially
if product has been heated. Inhalation of metal oxides may cause metal fume fever.
Ingestion: May cause gastric distress, stomach pains, vomiting, and diarrhea.
Target Organ Effects: Skin Dermatitis, Irritation
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure: Preexisting skin, eye or respiratory disorders
may become aggravated through prolonged exposure.
CHRONIC/OTHER EFFECTS
Gastritis, nephritis, and oliguria have been reported from exposure to zinc. Inhalation fumes can cause
metal fume fever, characterized by fever, chills, malaise, headache, cough, and abdominal discomfort.
Effects typically last for 24-48 hours usually without long term reported effects. Chronic zinc exposure
may cause sideroblastic anemia. Adverse reproductive effects have not been reported, but testicular
tumors were found in laboratory rats injected with zinc. Zinc is not listed by IARC or ACGIH as a
carcinogen. Some mineral oils are associated with fibrosis of the lungs, asthma, and skin cancer.
Some forms of mineral oils (untreated and mildly treated) are listed as carcinogens by IARC and
suspected carcinogens by ACGIH.
