Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention.

Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap.

First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.

Rest. Refer for medical attention .

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)

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

Fire fighting: /Wear/ self-contained breathing apparatus with a full facepiece operated in pressure-demand, or other positive mode. Cadmium dust (as cadmium)

Flammable in powder form. Combustible. (NTP, 1992)

Use dry sand. Use special powder. NO other agents.

Evacuate danger area! Personal protection: chemical protection suit including self-contained breathing apparatus. Remove all ignition sources. Sweep spilled substance into covered containers. Carefully collect remainder. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.

1) remove all ignition sources. 2) ventilate area of release. 3) collect released material in the most convenient and safe manner for reclamation or for disposal. ... cadmium dust

NO open flames, NO sparks and NO smoking. NO contact with heat or acids. Closed system, dust explosion-proof electrical equipment and lighting. Prevent deposition of dust. Handling in a well ventilated place. Wear suitable protective clothing. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid formation of dust and aerosols. Use non-sparking tools. Prevent fire caused by electrostatic discharge steam.

Fireproof. Dry. Keep under inert gas. Separated from ignition sources, oxidants, acids and food and feedstuffs.Keep containers closed and protect against physical damage.

Ensure adequate ventilation. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Set up emergency exits and the risk-elimination area.

Wear safety goggles or eye protection in combination with breathing protection.

Protective gloves.

Use local exhaust or breathing protection.

Reacts with acids. This produces flammable/explosive gas (hydrogen - see ICSC 0001). The dust reacts with oxidants, hydrogen azide, zinc, selenium and tellurium. This generates fire and explosion hazard.

Slowly oxidized by moist air to form cadmium oxide.

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.

no data available

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.

When heated to a high temperature it emits toxic fumes of cadmium.

NTP: Known to be a human carcinogen. EPA: Probable human carcinogen. IARC: Carcinogenic to humans

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.

The fume is irritating to the respiratory tract. Inhalation of fumes may cause lung oedema. See Notes. Inhalation of fumes may cause metal fume fever. The effects may be delayed. Medical observation is indicated.

Repeated or prolonged inhalation of dust particles may cause effects on the lungs. The substance may have effects on the kidneys. This may result in kidney impairment. This substance is carcinogenic to humans.

A harmful concentration of airborne particles can be reached quickly when dispersed, especially if powdered.

The material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.

Containers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.

Reacts violently with fire extinguishing agents such as water, foam, carbon dioxide and halons.Depending on the degree of exposure, periodic medical examination is suggested.The symptoms of lung oedema often do not become manifest until a few hours have passed and they are aggravated by physical effort. Rest and medical observation are therefore essential.Do NOT take working clothes home.Cadmium also exists in a pyrophoric form (EC No. 048-011-00-X), which bears the additional EU labelling symbol F, R phrase 17, and S phrases 7/8 and 43.UN numbers and packing group will vary according to the physical form of the substance.
