| SECTION 3: Hazards Identification | |
|---|---|
| Emergency Overview: | Extremely flammable liquid. Vapors irritating to eyes and respiratory tract. Cadmium is very toxic. May cause cancer. Possible risk of irreversible effects. |
| Primary Routes of Exposure: | Ingestion, inhalation, eyes and skin. |
| Eye Contact: | Direct contact of liquid with the eyes will cause irritation and possible blindness. |
| Skin Contact: | Harmful and irritating in contact with skin. Residue upon evaporation of hexane may burst into flame causing thermal burns. |
| Inhalation: | Harmful by inhalation. Vapors may depress the central nervous system causing dizziness, difficulty in walking, and irritation to the lungs. |
| Ingestion: | Harmful by ingestion. Ingestion may lead to sudden nausea, vomiting, bloody diarrhea, weakness, convulsions, and death. |
| Acute Health Effects: | Inhalation of vapors may cause metallic taste, cough, chest pain, fever, chills, pulmonary edema, liver and kidney damage. Poison by ingestion. Possible risk of irreversible damage. |
| Chronic Health Effects: | Long term exposure to cadmium and cadmium compounds may result in kidney damage, anemia, pulmonary fibrosis, emphysema, perforation of the nasal septum, loss of smell, male reproductive effects, and an increased risk of cancer of the lungs, prostate, and liver. |
| NTP: | Yes |
| IARC: | Yes |
| OSHA: | No |
| 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. |
