First Aid Measures

Ingestion
Call a physician at once; if victim is conscious, induce vomiting by giving a tablespoon of salt in a glass of warm water and repeat until vomit is clear; give milk or whites of eggs beaten with water; keep patient warm and quiet.
Inhalation
Remove patient to fresh air; seek medical attention.
Skin
Flush with plenty of water.
Eyes
Flush with plenty of water and get medical attention.

Handling and Storage

Storage
Material can be stored at room temperature. Venting: open.
Handling
All chemicals should be considered hazardous. Avoid direct physical contact. Use appropriate, approved safety equipment. Untrained individuals should not handle this chemical or its container. Handling should occur in a chemical fume hood.

Hazards Identification

Inhalation
Acute inhalation of fumes can cause cough, dyspnea and chest tightness which is similar to metal fume fever, but which may progress to pneumonitis, pulmonary edema, and death due to respiratory failure in severe cases. Acute exposure can result in residual emphysema and fibrosis.
Skin
Skin eruptions and pruritus may occur.
Eyes
See Inhalation.
Ingestion
Ingestion - nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and cramping, diarrhea, salivation, dry mouth, and substernal pain occur.
Hazards
Contact with metals may evolve flammable hydrogen gas.
UN (DOT)
2570

Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

Personal Protection
Gloves and skin protection.
Respirators
Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).
Exposure Effects
CNS effects of acute exposures have included delayed parkinsonism. Smoking and industrial exposure to cadmium has resulted in increased placental levels of cadmium.
Exposure limit(s)
IDHL: NIOSH considers cadmium dust (as Cd) to be a potential occupational carcinogen.

Fire Fighting Measures

Fire Fighting
Extinguish using agent most appropriate for surrounding fire.
Fire Potential
Nonflammable.

Accidental Release Measures

Small spills/leaks
ELIMINATE all ignition sources. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Stop leak if you can do it without risk. Absorb or cover with dry earth, sand or other non-combustible material and transfer to containers. DO NOT GET WATER INSIDE CONTAINERS.

Stability and Reactivity

Incompatibilities
Reacts as acid to neutralize bases.
Stability
Stable.
Combustion Products
Toxic hydrogen fluoride and cadmium oxide fumes may form in fires.
