Hazards

Routes of entry: inhalation: yes skin: yes ingestion: no
health hazards acute and chronic: target organs: respiratory system,
skin, bladder, kidneys, & eyes. acute- skin: may result in burns.

contact dermatitis. Rapid estimation of the amount of internal
contamination is difficult or impos sible when alpha or pure beta
emitters are involved. inhalation: breathing difficulties.

chronic- allergic asthma, restricted pulmonary functions, and
internal fibrosis may be caused by long-term oc cupational exposure
to cobalt and its compounds.

explanation of carcinogenicity: cancer causing agent: beta or gamma
rays
effects of overexposure: nausea & vomiting & diarrhea for high acute
doses. inhalation of cobalt dust can cause pulmonary symptoms such
as wheezing, irritation of the upper respiratory tract &
hypersensitivity reactions (ast hma). Skin contact w/ powdered
cobalt may cause adenitides, especially in the creases of the
elbows, knees, ankles, & neck. contact with eyes may cause
conjunctivitis. ingestion may produce a hot se nsation along with
vomiting, diarrhea, & nausea.

medical cond aggravated by exposure: healing of damaged tissues may be
prolonged. Disorders of the skin & the upper respiratory tract may
be worsened by exposure to cobalt.

First Aid

First aid: eyes: immediately flush eyes, including under the eyelids,
gently but thoroughly with plenty of running water for at least 15
min. skin: immediately wash the affected area with soap and water.

inhal ation: remove the exposed person to fresh air, restore
and/or support his or her breathing as needed. ingestion: never
give anything by mouth to someone who is unconscious or convulsing.

if cobalt sa lts are ingested, give one to two glasses of water &
induce vomiting. Transportto a hospital if nausea & vomiting occur
in the first 24 hours.
