HEALTH HAZARDS (ACUTE AND CHRONIC):
ACUTE OVEREXPOSURE (SYMPTOMS AND EFFECTS)
INHALATION OF DUST OR FUME FROM CADMIUM AND ITS COMPOUNDS MAY CAUSE
IRRITATION OF THE NOSE AND THROAT. IF HIGH CONCENTRATIONS ARE INHALED
(ESPECIALLY FRESHLY FORMED FUME), A DELAYED REACTION OF COUGHING, CHEST
PAIN, SWEATING, CHILLS, SHORTNESS OF BREATH AND WEAKNESS MAY DEVELOP. IN
SEVERE CASES, DEATH MAY RESULT FROM PULMONARY EDEMA.
INGESTION OF CADMIUM DUST MAY CAUSE NAUSEA, VOMITING, DIARRHEA AND ABDOMINAL
CRAMPS.
NICKEL AND CERTAIN NICKEL COMPOUNDS MAY CAUSE LOCAL DERMATITIS FROM SKIN
CONTACT. INHALATION MAY CAUSE UPPER RESPIRATORY IRRITATION. INGESTION OF
NICKEL AND COMPOUNDS MAY CAUSE INTESTINAL DISORDERS.
CHRONIC OVEREXPOSURE (SYMPTOMS AND EFFECTS)
LONG TERM EXPOSURE MAY CAUSE LUNG INJURY (EMPHYSEMA) AND KIDNEY DYSFUNCTION
(PROTEINURIA). BONE LESIONS CHARACTERIZED BY PAIN IN THE BACK AND
EXTREMITIES HAVE ALSO BEEN REPORTED. INHALATION OVER PROLONGED PERIODS OF
TIME MAY POSE AN INCREASED RISK OF LUNG CANCER AND POSSIBLY OTHER FORMS OF
CANCER.
CARCINOGENICITY:
NTP? YES
IARC MONOGRAPHS? YES
OSHA REGULATED? YES
NICKEL AND CADMIUM AND THEIR COMPOUNDS ARE LISTED AS CARCINOGENS OR
POTENTIAL CARCINOGENS BY NTP, IARC, OSHA.
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE:
IRRITATION OF NOSE AND THROAT, SWEATING, CHILLS, SHORTNESS OF BREATH,
WEAKNESS, LOCAL DERMATITIS, NAUSEA, COUGHING, CHEST PAINS.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS GENERALLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE:
RESPIRATORY SYSTEM DISORDERS, PROSTATE DISORDERS, LIVER AND KIDNEY
DISORDERS.
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES:
INHALATION:
