| SECTION 3: Hazards Identification | |
|---|---|
| Emergency Overview: | Toxic by inhalation and if swallowed. Cadmium can damage respiratory tract, liver and kidneys. Causes cancer. Prolonged exposure to iodide salts may produce a mild toxic syndrome known as iodism. |
| Primary Routes of Exposure: | Contact with skin and eyes. Inhalation of dust. |
| Eye Contact: | Contact with eyes may cause irritation, redness, and pain. |
| Skin Contact: | May cause irritation to the skin. Symptoms include redness, itching, pain, pimples boils, hives and blisters. |
| Inhalation: | Inhalation of cadmium dust can lead a cough, headache, shortness of breath, chest pains, pulmonary edema, and death. |
| Ingestion: | Ingestion of cadmium salts may lead to sudden nausea, vomiting, bloody diarrhea, weakness, convulsions, and death. |
| Acute Health Effects: | May be irritating to skin, eyes and respiratory tract. cadmium poisoning may cause weakness, convulsions and death. |
| Chronic Health Effects: | Chronic ingestion of iodides may produce iodism. Symptoms include skin rash, running nose, headache and irritation of mucous membranes. Chronic cadmium exposure can cause numerous adverse health effects including emphysema and cancer. |
| 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. |
