| SECTION 3: Hazards Identification | |
|---|---|
| Emergency Overview: | Harmful by inhalation, in contact with skin and if swallowed. Irritating to ski, eyes and respiratory tract. The inhalation of cadmium fumes and dust can lead to effects on the respiratory tract and the kidneys. |
| Primary Routes of Exposure: | Ingestion, inhalation |
| Eye Contact: | Causes slight to mild irritation of the eyes. |
| Skin Contact: | Causes slight to mild irritation of the skin. |
| Inhalation: | Inhalation of dust and fumes can lead a cough, headache, shortness of breath and vomiting. Severe exposure can lead to dyspnea. |
| Ingestion: | Ingestion may lead to dizziness, abdominal cramps, vomiting, bloody diarrhea, weakness, and convulsions. |
| Acute Health Effects: | Irritating to skin, eyes and respiratory tract. Harmful by inhalation, in contact with skin and if swallowed. |
| Chronic Health Effects: | Long term exposure to cadmium and cadmium compounds can lead to effects of the respiratory tract and kidney damage. 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. |
