“Donaldson's work certainly demonstrates the potential for graphene flakes to present a health risk if they are able to be inhaled and enter the lungs, or penetrate to the region surrounding the lungs.[materialstoday.com]
Excessive exposure to graphitedust over extended periods of time can cause a chronic and more serious condition known as Graphitosis, which is a form of pneumoconiosis.[moldmakingtechnology.com]
The dust comes in contact with the fluid being used and is flushed away to a collection unit.[moldmakingtechnology.com]
EYES : Flush eyes with lukewarm water, including under upper and lower eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist. Most Important Symptoms/Effects, Acute and Delayed : May cause irritation.[espimetals.com]
Just as with poison ivy, the irritation can be mild or severe, acute or chronic. Inhaling concentrated epoxy vapors, if done frequently or for long periods, can irritate your respiratory tract.[westsystem.com]
Inhaling carbon black particles can irritate the lungs and cause coughing. Carbon black can also irritate the eyes, nose and throat. When people are exposed to high levels of carbon black over many years, the particles may lodge deep in their lungs.[dhs.wisconsin.gov]
Symptoms of Exposure : May cause irritation. Acute and Chronic Effects : Graphite may cause irritation of the respiratory tract. Inhalation of dusts over prolonged periods of time may cause pneumoconiosis.[espimetals.com]
At first, irritating mineral dust can trigger lung inflammation, which causes areas of the lung to be temporarily damaged. Over time, these areas can progress to form tough, fibrous tissue deposits. This stage of pneumoconiosis is called fibrosis.[stlimaging.ca]
