EMERGENCY OVERVIEW

Appearance: white solid.
Caution! Carcinogen. Causes eye and skin irritation. Causes digestive and respiratory tract irritation. May cause lung damage. Light sensitive. May cause liver and kidney damage. Hygroscopic (absorbs moisture from the air). May cause fetal effects.
Target Organs: Kidneys, liver, lungs, thyroid.

Potential Health Effects
Eye: Causes eye irritation.
Skin: Causes skin irritation.
Ingestion: Causes gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. May cause liver and kidney damage. Human fatalities have been reported from acute poisoning. Chronic ingestion of iodides during pregnancy has resulted in fetal death, severe goiter, and cretinoid appearance of the newborn.
Inhalation: Causes respiratory tract irritation. May cause liver and kidney damage.
Chronic: Prolonged or repeated inhalation may cause kidney and lung damage. Chronic ingestion may cause liver damage. Chronic ingestion of iodides during pregnancy has resulted in fetal death, severe goiter, and cretinoid appearance of the newborn.. Prolonged exposure to iodides may produce iodism in sensitive individuals. Symptoms could include skin rash, running nose and headache.

4. First Aid Measures

Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid imme diately.
Skin: Get medical aid. Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. Get medical aid.
Inhalation: Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid. Do NOT use mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. If breathing has ceased apply artificial respiration using oxygen and a suitable mechanical device such as a bag and a mask.
Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically and supportively.

5. Fire Fighting Measures

General Information: As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Use extinguishing media appropriate to the surrounding fire. Substance is noncombustible.

Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Avoid generating dusty conditions. Provide ventilation.

7. Handling and Storage

Handling: Wash thoroughly after handling. Wash hands before eating. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Use with adequate ventilation. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Store protected from light.
Storage: Store in a cool place in the original container and protect from sunlight. Store in a tightly closed container. Store protected from moisture. Store protected from light.

8. Exposure Controls, Personal Protection

Engineering Controls: Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate general or local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below the permissible exposure limits.

Carcinogenicity:
CAS# 7790-80-9:

ACGIH: A2 - Suspected Human Carcinogen (listed as 'Cadmium compounds').

California: carcinogen, initial date 10/1/87 (listed as Cadmium compounds).

NTP: Known carcinogen (listed as Cadmium compounds).

IARC: Group 1 carcinogen (listed as Cadmium compounds).

Epidemiology: NIOSH cited recent epidemiological evidence of a significant excess of respiratory cancer deaths among a cohort of cadmium production workers and concluded that cadmium and its compounds are potential carcinogens.Occupational exposure to cadmium has been implicated in a significant increase in prostate and respiratory tract cancer. IARC classified the metal as probably carcinogenic to humans but lacking human evidence.
