| SECTION 3: Hazards Identification | |
|---|---|
| Emergency Overview: | Inhalation of dust or ingestion may cause metallic taste, cough, chest pain, fever, chills, pulmonary edema, liver and kidney damage. May cause cancer. |
| Primary Routes of Exposure: | Ingestion, inhalation |
| Eye Contact: | May be a mild to severe irritant to the eyes. |
| Skin Contact: | May cause slight to mild irritation of the skin. |
| Inhalation: | Toxic by inhalation. Dust or fumes can lead to chills, coughing, headache, shortness of breath, chest pains, and pulmonary edema. |
| Ingestion: | Toxic if swallowed. Ingestion may lead to sudden nausea, vomiting, bloody diarrhea, weakness, convulsions, and death. |
| Acute Health Effects: | Toxic if swallowed or inhaled. Inhalation may cause metallic taste, cough, chest pain, fever, chills, pulmonary edema, liver and kidney damage. May cause damage to the unborn child. |
| Chronic Health Effects: | Prolonged exposure may cause loss of sense of smell, weight loss, liver, lung, skeletal and kidney damage. May cause heritable genetic damage. May impair fertility. Cadmium is a recognized carcinogen of the connective tissue, lungs, and the liver. |
| NTP: | Yes |
| IARC: | Yes |

| SECTION 4: First Aid Measures | |
|---|---|
| Eye Exposure: | Immediately flush the eyes with copious amounts of water for at least 10-15 minutes. A victim may need assistance in keeping their eye lids open. Get immediate medical attention. |
| Skin Exposure: | Wash the affected area with water. Remove contaminated clothes if necessary. Seek medical assistance if irritation persists. |
| Inhalation: | Remove the victim to fresh air. Closely monitor the victim for signs of respiratory problems, such as difficulty in breathing, coughing, wheezing, or pain. In such cases seek immediate medical assistance. |
| Ingestion: | Seek medical attention immediately. Keep the victim calm. Give the victim water (only if conscious). Induce vomiting only if directed by medical personnel. |
