4.2 Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed Exposure Routes: inhalation, ingestion Symptoms: Pulmonary edema, dyspnea (breathing difficulty), cough, chest tightness, substernal (occurring beneath the sternum) pain; headache; chills, muscle aches; nausea, vomiting, diarrhea; anosmia (loss of the sense of smell), emphysema, proteinuria, mild anemia; [potential occupational carcinogen] Target Organs: respiratory system, kidneys, prostate, blood (NIOSH, 2016)
4.3 Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary Immediate first aid: Ensure that adequate decontamination has been carried out. If patient is not breathing, start artificial respiration, preferably with a demand-valve resuscitator, bag-valve-mask device, or pocket mask, as trained. Perform CPR as necessary. Immediately flush contaminated eyes with gently flowing water. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain an open airway and prevent aspiration. Keep patient quiet and maintain normal body temperature. Obtain medical attention. /Cadmium and Related Compounds/

8.3 Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment (PPE) Eye/face protection Safety glasses with side-shields conforming to EN166. Use equipment for eye protection tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU).
Skin protection Wear impervious clothing. The type of protective equipment must be selected according to the concentration and amount of the dangerous substance at the specific workplace. Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper glove removal technique(without touching glove's outer surface) to avoid skin contact with this product. Dispose of contaminated gloves after use in accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory practices. Wash and dry hands. The selected protective gloves have to satisfy the specifications of EU Directive 89/686/EEC and the standard EN 374 derived from it.
Respiratory protection Wear dust mask when handling large quantities.

Relative vapour density no data available Particle characteristics no data available 10.Stability and reactivity 10.1 Reactivity no data available
10.2 Chemical stability Slowly oxidized by moist air to form cadmium oxide.
10.3 Possibility of hazardous reactions Powdered cadmium is flammable.Dust explosion possible if in powder or granular form, mixed with air.A violent explosion occurred 30 minutes after placement of a CADMIUM rod into hydrazoic acid [Mellor 8 Supp. 2:50 1967]. Fused ammonium nitrate with powdered metal often produces a violent explosive reaction. Reactivity similar to zinc. May be incompatible with oxidants.
10.4 Conditions to avoid no data available
10.5 Incompatible materials The dust ignites spontaneously in air and is flammable and explosive when exposed to heat, flame, or by chemical reaction with oxidizing agents, metals, ammonia, zinc, selenium, and tellurium.
10.6 Hazardous decomposition products When heated to a high temperature it emits toxic fumes of cadmium.
11.Toxicological information Acute toxicity Oral: LD50 Rat oral 225 mg/kg Inhalation: LC50 Rat inhalation 25 mg/cu m/30 minutes Dermal: no data available Skin corrosion/irritation no data available
Serious eye damage/irritation no data available
Respiratory or skin sensitization no data available
Germ cell mutagenicity no data available
Carcinogenicity NTP: Known to be a human carcinogen. EPA: Probable human carcinogen. IARC: Carcinogenic to humans
Reproductive toxicity Limited evidence exists for an association between inhalation exposure and a reduction in sperm number and viability in humans. Human developmental studies on cadmium are limited, although there is some evidence to suggest that maternal cadmium exposure may result in decreased birthweights. Animal studies provide evidence that cadmium has developmental effects, such as low fetal weight, skeletal malformations, interference with fetal metabolism, and impaired neurological development, via inhalation and oral exposure. Limited animal data are available, although some reproductive effects, such as decreased reproduction and testicular damage, have been noted following oral exposures.
