**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Highly flammable. Toxic if swallowed. Very toxic by inhalation. May
cause cancer.Cancer suspect agent.Air sensitive.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye irritation.
Skin:
Causes skin irritation.
Ingestion:
Harmful if swallowed. May cause gastrointestinal irritation with
nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Ingestion may produce fluid loss,
acute renal failure, and cardiopulmonary depression.
Inhalation:
May be fatal if inhaled. Inhalation of fumes may cause metal fume
fever, which is characterized by flu-like symptoms with metallic
taste, fever, chills, cough, weakness, chest pain, muscle pain and
increased white blood cell count. Damage may be delayed. May cause
nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, chest tightness,
weakness, and delayed pulmonary edema. In humans inhalation causes
proteinuria, an excess of protein in the urine.
Chronic:
May cause respiratory tract cancer. Repeated inhalation may cause
chronic bronchitis. Chronic inhalation may cause nasal septum
ulceration and perforation. Cadmium and compounds may cause lung,
liver and kidney damage and lung and prostrate cancer in humans. May
cause loss of smell, emphysema, anemia, bone demineralization, and
lung fibrosis.
**** SECTION 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.
Skin:
Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of soap and 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. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. Get medical aid immediately.
Inhalation:
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure to fresh air
immediately. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. 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:
Blood cadmium levels are not indicative of exposure. Administration
of Calcium Disodium EDTA may be useful in acute poisoning with its
use at the discretion of qualified medical personnel. Persons with
kidney disease, chronic respiratory disease, liver disease, or skin
disease may be at increased risk from exposure to this substance.
**** SECTION 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. Dust can be an explosion hazard when exposed to
heat or flame. Flammable solid. May burn rapidly with flare burning
effect. May re-ignite after fire is extinguished. Dangerous fire
hazard in the form of dust when exposed to heat or flame.
Extinguishing Media:
Do NOT use water directly on fire. Use dry chemical to fight fire.
Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after
fire is out.
**** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable disposal
container. Avoid generating dusty conditions. Remove all sources of
ignition. Use a spark-proof tool. Provide ventilation. Place under an
inert atmosphere.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Wash hands before eating. Remove
contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Minimize dust generation
and accumulation. Use spark-proof tools and explosion proof
equipment. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Do not breathe dust,
vapor, mist, or gas. Empty containers retain product residue, (liquid
and/or vapor), and can be dangerous. Avoid contact with heat, sparks
and flame. Do not ingest or inhale. Handle under an inert
atmosphere. Store protected from air. Use only in a chemical fume
hood. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or
expose empty containers to heat, sparks or open flames.
Storage:
Keep away from heat and flame. Keep away from sources of ignition.
Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry,
well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Do not
expose to air. Store under an inert atmosphere.
**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****
Engineering Controls:
Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment. Facilities storing or
utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility
and a safety shower. Use only under a chemical fume hood.
Personal Protective Equipment
Eyes:
Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or chemical
safety goggles as described by OSHA's eye and face
protection regulations in 29 CFR 1910.133 or European
Standard EN166.
Skin:
Wear appropriate protective gloves to prevent skin
exposure.
Clothing:
Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin
exposure.
Respirators:
A respiratory protection program that meets OSHA's 29
CFR ??1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements or European
Standard EN 149 must be followed whenever workplace
conditions warrant a respirator's use.
