GHS statement
Bulk ferrotungsten alloys are generally not classified as hazardous under(GHS). However, hazards may arise during machining, grinding, welding, or when handling fine powders due to dust generation.
Hazard Statement
H319: Causes serious eye irritation. (Metal dust) H335: May cause respiratory irritation H373: May cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (by inhalation of respirable dust) (Applicable only where supported by composition and exposure data) For solid lumps or granules, many suppliers classify the material as Not Hazardous under GHS.
