Cadmium Oxide 1306-19-0 99 - 100% Yes
Inhalation: Cadmium absorption is most efficient via respiratory tract.
Inhalation of dust may produce irritation, headache, metallic taste and/or
cough. Severe exposures may produce shortness of breath, chest pain, and
flu-like symptoms with weakness, fever, headache, chills, sweating, nausea and
muscular pain. Can cause pulmonary edema, liver and kidney damage and death.
Symptoms from inhalation may be delayed for as much as 24 hours.
Ingestion: Toxic. Ingested cadmium salts may cause severe and sometimes
fatal poisonings. Symptoms can include severe nausea, vomiting, diarrhea,
abdominal pains, choking, dizziness, and salivation. Kidney and liver
dysfunction may occur. Although as little as 10 - 20 mg of soluble cadmium salts
have produced severe toxic symptoms when ingested, death probably requires
several hundred mg by oral route.
Skin Contact: May cause irritation with redness and pain.
Eye Contact: May cause irritation, redness and pain.
Chronic Exposure: Chronic exposure to cadmium, even at relatively low
concentrations, 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 lung and of the prostate.
Decrease in bone density, renal stones, and other evidence of disturbed calcium
metabolism may be observed.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions: Persons with pre-existing skin
disorders, eye problems, blood disorders, prostate problems, or impaired liver,
kidney or respiratory function may be more susceptible to the effects of the
substance.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing,
give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical
attention immediately.
Ingestion: Induce vomiting immediately as directed by medical personnel.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical attention
immediately.
Skin Contact: Wipe off excess material from skin then immediately flush
skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated
clothing and shoes. Get medical attention immediately. Wash clothing before
reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse.
Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes, lifting lower and upper eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention
immediately.
Fire: Not considered to be a fire hazard.
Explosion: Not considered to be an explosion hazard.
Fire Extinguishing Media: Use any means suitable for extinguishing
surrounding fire.
Special Information: In the event of a fire, wear full protective
clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus with full
facepiece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode. If
involved in a fire, this material can emit very toxic fumes of cadmium.
Ventilate area of leak or spill. Keep unnecessary and unprotected people away from area of spill.
Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Protect against physical damage. Wear special protective equipment (Sec. 8) for maintenance break-in or where exposures may exceed established exposure levels. Wash hands, face, forearms and neck when exiting restricted areas. Shower, dispose of outer clothing, change to clean garments at the end of the day. Avoid cross-contamination of street clothes. Wash hands before eating and do not eat, drink, or smoke in workplace. Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (dust, solids); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product.
Airborne Exposure Limits: -OSHA Threshold Limit
Value (PEL):5 ug/m3 of Cadmium (TWA), 2.5 ug/m3 (Action Level)-ACGIH Threshold
Limit Value (TLV) :0.01 mg/m3 total dust, 0.002 mg/m3 respirable fraction for
cadmium and compounds, as Cd;listed as A2, suspected human carcinogen.
Ventilation System: A system of local and/or general exhaust is
recommended to keep employee exposures below the Airborne Exposure Limits. Local
exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions
of the contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general
work area. Please refer to the ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation, A
Manual of Recommended Practices, most recent edition, for details.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved): If the exposure limit is exceeded
and engineering controls are not feasible, a half-face high efficiency
particulate respirator (NIOSH type N100 filter) may be worn for up to ten times
the exposure limit or the maximum use concentration specified by the appropriate
regulatory agency or respirator supplier, whichever is lowest. A full-face piece
high efficiency particulate respirator (NIOSH type N100 filter) may be worn up
to 50 times the exposure limit, or the maximum use concentration specified by
the appropriate regulatory agency or respirator supplier, whichever is lowest.
If oil particles (e.g. lubricants, cutting fluids, glycerine, etc.) are present,
use a NIOSH type R or P filter. For emergencies or instances where the exposure
levels are not known, use a full-facepiece positive-pressure, air-supplied
respirator. WARNING: Air-purifying respirators do not protect workers in
oxygen-deficient atmospheres. See OSHA 1910.1027 for additional respirator
information. Where respirators are required, you must have a written program
covering the basic requirements in the OSHA respirator standard. These include
training, fit testing, medical approval, cleaning, maintenance, cartridge change
schedules, etc. See 29CFR1910.134 for details.
Skin Protection: Wear protective gloves and clean body-covering clothing.
Eye Protection: Use chemical safety goggles. Maintain eye wash fountain
and quick-drench facilities in work area.
Other Control Measures: Eating, drinking, and smoking should not be
permitted in areas where solids or liquids containing cadmium compounds are
handled, processed, or stored. See OSHA substance-specific standard for more
information on personal protective equipment, engineering and work practice
controls, medical surveillance, record keeping, and reporting requirements. (29
CFR 1910.1027).
