Chronic Effects
:
Under normal conditions of use, the risk of long
-term exposure to hazardous
components is minimal. Prolonged inhalation of metal dusts or electrolyte mists
may cause serious respiratory illness. The chronic effects of long
-term
exposure to nickel bearing alloys (nickel metal hydride) are currently unknown.
According to the national toxicology program (NTP) insoluble nickel compounds
(nickel hydroxide) may reasonably be anticipated to be carcinogens, and an
assessment by International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) concluded
there was sufficient evidence
that nickel and nickel compounds, as a group, but
not necessarily as individual chemicals, were carcinogenic to humans. Cobalt
compounds have been classified as carcinogens or potential carcinogens by
OSHA and IARC.
12. Ecological Information
The sealed
NiMH cells as a product are not presenting ecotoxicological hazards. In case of product destruction or
opening, the substances described in paragraph 11 can come in contact of the environment. The metals content in a
