EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: white solid.
Danger! Can cause lung and kidney disease. Cancer
hazard. Contains cadmium. Avoid creating dust. May cause irritation.
Target Organs: Kidneys, lungs, skeletal
structures, prostate.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause eye irritation.
Skin:
May cause skin irritation.
Ingestion:
May cause irritation of the digestive tract.

Section 4 - First Aid Measures
|
Eyes:
Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally
lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid.
Skin:
Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while
removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if
irritation develops or persists.
Ingestion:
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.
Inhalation:
Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. Get medical
aid.
Notes to Physician:
Treat symptomatically and supportively.
Antidote:
The use of Calcium disodium EDTA as a chelating agent should be
determined by qualified medical personnel.

inhalation.
Storage:
Store in a cool, dry place. Store in a tightly closed container.
|
Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection
|
Engineering Controls:
Use process enclosure, local exhaust ventilation, or other
engineering controls to control airborne levels below recommended
exposure limits. See 29CFR 1910.1027 for regulations applying to all
