Potential Health Effects
Eye: May cause eye irritation.
Skin: May cause skin irritation.
Ingestion: Harmful if swallowed. Causes severe nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal cramps and salivation, headache, muscular cramps, vertigo and perhaps convulsions. Exhaustion, collapse, shock and death may occur usually within a period of 24 hrs if untreated. The gradual evolution of signs and symptoms of liver and kidney damage should be anticipated but are rarely seen.
Inhalation: Harmful if inhaled. Causes metallic taste in mouth, headache, shortness of breath, chest pain, cough with foamy or bloody sputum, pulmonary rales and related physical signs, weakness, leg pains. May cause asphyxial death from intense pulmonary edema. Gradual resolution of pulmonary edema occurs over a period of a few days and development of fever with persistence of cough, chest pain and dyspnea lasts for one or more weeks. Late kidney and/or liver damage has followed respiratory exposures.
Chronic: Cadmium and compounds may cause lung, liver and kidney damage and lung and prostate cancer in humans. Potential cancer hazard. Inhalation over a number of years results in chronic cadmium poisoning, a disease characterized by distinctive, nonhypertrophic emphysema with or without renal tubular injury. Long term exposure may also cause anemia, chronic rhinitis, yellow discoloration of the teeth and bone
| Section 4 - First Aid Measures |
Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid imme diately.
Skin: Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Ingestion: Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid immediately. Do NOT induce vomiting. If conscious and alert, rinse mouth and drink 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
Inhalation: Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Do not use mouth-to-mouth resuscitation if victim ingested or inhaled the substance; induce artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket mask equipped with a one-way valve or other proper respiratory medical device.
Notes to Physician: Persons with skin problems or liver, kidney, lung, or blood diseases may be at increased risk from exposure to this substance. Treat symptomatically and supportively.
| Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures |
General Information: As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion.

Spills/Leaks: Sweep up, then place into a suitable container for disposal. Avoid generating dusty conditions. Provide ventilation.
| Section 7 - Handling and Storage |
Handling: Wash thoroughly after handling. Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Do not ingest or inhale. Do not breathe dust.
Storage: Keep containers tightly closed. Store in a cool, dry area away from incompatible substances.
| Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection |
Engineering Controls: Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate general or local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below the permissible exposure limits. See 29CFR 1910.1027 for regulations applying to all occupational exposures to cadmium and cadmium compounds, in all forms.

Ecotoxicity: No data available. No information available.
Environmental: Cadmium may migrate in the environment in the form of nitrate, chloride and carbonate complexes, hydroxide complexes, ammonia complexes, and as chelated and other organo-metallic complexes resulting from decay of plant and animal matter and humus. Tends to precipitate in natural waters w/manganese oxide, iron oxide, and hydrates. Relatively mobile in aquatic environment and may be transported in solution as either hydrated cations or as organic or inorganic complexes. Adsorption onto soils is strongly pH-dependent, increasing as conditions become more alkaline.
Physical: Tends to precipitate in natural waters w/manganese oxide, iron oxide, and hydrates. No evidence was found indicating that photolysis is an imoprtant mechanism in determining the fate of cadmium compounds in the aquatic environment.
Other: A significant number of studies on aquatic animals have been reported giving dose and toxic effects. For complete details, see listing in the Hazardous Substances Data Bank.
