NIOSH/OSHA
Occupational
Health
Guidelines
for
Chemical
Hazards
and/or
NIOSH
Pocket
Guide
to
Chemical
Hazards
lists
the
following
effects
of
overexposure
to
chemicals/materials
tabulated below
when
they
are
inhaled,
ingested,
or
contacted
with
skin
or
eye:
Mercury
–
Exposure
to
high
concentrations
of
vapors
for
brief
periods
can
cause
acute
symptoms
such
as
pneumonitis,
chest
pains,
shortness
of
breath,
coughing,
gingivitis,
salivation
and
possibly
stomatitis.
May cause
redness
and
irritation
as
a
result
of
contact
with
skin
and/or
eyes.
Lead
-
Ingestion
and
inhalation
of
lead
dust
or
fume
must
be
avoided.
Irritation
of
the
eyes
and
respiratory tract
may
occur.
Excessive
lead
absorption
is
toxic
and
may
include
symptoms
such
as
anemia, weakness,
abdominal
pain,
and
kidney
disease.
Phosphor
–
Phosphor
dust
is
considered
to
be
physiologically
inert
and
as
such,
has
an
OSHA
exposure limit
of
15
mg/cubic
meter
for
total
dust
and
5
mg/cubic
meter
for
respirable
dust.
Barium Compounds
–
Alkaline
barium
compounds,
such
as
the
hydroxide
and
carbonate,
may
cause
local irritation
to
the
eyes,
nose,
throat,
and
skin.
