=====================  Hazards Identification  =====================

LD50 LC50 Mixture:SEE INGREDIENT 2.
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES  Skin:YES  Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO    IARC:YES	 OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:SYMPS & HLTH HAZS FOR DILUTE NITRIC
    ACID ARE EXPECTED TO BE LESS SEV THAN EXPOS TO CONC NITRIC ACID.
    HOWEVER, SINCE NITRIC ACID IS IN SOLN AT 1% OR GREATER, HLTH HAZS
    FOR CONC NITRIC ACID ARE GIVEN. T HIS SOLN MAY CAUSE IRRIT IF
    INHALED, INGESTED/ABSORBED THRU SKIN. IT WILL CAUSE IRRIT IF IT
    COMES INTO (EFTS OF OVEREXP)
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:CADMIUM NITRATE:IARC MONOGRAPHS, VOL 58,
    PG 119, 1993:GROUP 1.
Effects of Overexposure:HLTH HAZ:CONT W/EYES. CADMIUM SALTS ARE
    CONSIDERED TO BE CARCIN ACCORDING TO OSHA, NTP & IARC. CADMIUM DUST
    CAUSES BOTH ACUTE & CHRONIC EFTS. DUST IS LESS TOX THAN FUME DUE TO
