Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:YES    IARC:YES  OSHA:YES
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:EYE/SKIN: MAY CAUSE IRRITATION.
    INHALATION: MAY CAUSE EXCESSIVE CADMIUM ABSORPTION RESULTING IN
    PULMONARY EMPHYSEMA AND/OR KIDNEY DYSFUNCTION. INGESTION: HARMFUL.
    MAY CAUSE ABDOMINAL PAIN, NUASEA, VOM ITING AND DIARRHEA. COPPER
    POISONING CAN RESULT IN HEMOLYTIC ANEMIA AND KIDNEY, LIVER AND
    SPLEEN DAMAGE. NOTE: INHALATION OF FUMES MAY CAUSE A FLU-LIKE
    ILLNESS CALLED METAL FUME FEVER. TYPICALLY METAL  FUME FEVER BEGINS
    EFFECTS DESCRIBED ABOVE ONLY APPLY IF DUST OR FU ME IS FORMED.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:IN EVALUATING CADMIUM AND CADMIUM
    COMPOUNDS, THE IARC HAS DETERMINED THAT THERE IS SUFFICIENT
    EVIDENCE OF CARCONOGENCITY IN HUMANS (GROUP 1). SIMILAR
    CARCONOGENCITY RESULTS FOR NICKEL. NTP, OSHA AND A CGIH CONSIDERS 
    CADMIUM AND CADMIUM COMPOUNDS TO BE SUSPECT HUMAN CANCER HAZARD.

Effects of Overexposure:IRRITATION, PULMONARY EMPHYSEMA AND/OR KIDNEY
    DYSFUNCTION, ABDOMINAL PAIN, NAUSEA, COMITING, DIARRHEA, HEMOLYTIC
    ANEMIA, KIDNEY, LIVER AND SPLEEN DAMAGE, METAL FUME FEVER, METALLIC
    TASTE, DRYNESS, COU GH, SHORTNESS OF BREATH, HEADACHE, FATIGUE,
    VOMITING, MUSCLE AND JOINT PAIN, FEVER, AND CHILLS. CHRONIC:
    PROLONGED OR EXCESSIVE EXPOSURE MAY RESULT IN ARGYRIA, A PERMANENT
    LOCALIZED BLUE-GRAY DISCOLOR ATION OF THE EYES, SKIN OR MUCOUS
    MEMBRANES. REPEATED OR LONG-TERM EXPOSURE TO CADMIUM OR NICKEL,
    EVEN AT RELATIVELY LOW CONCENTRATIONS, MAY RESULT IN KIDNEY DAMAGE
    AND AN INCREASED RISK OF LUNG CANCE R.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:MAY AGGRAVATE EXISTING MEDICAL
    CONDITIONS SUCH AS RESPIRATORY AND/OR KIDNEY AILMENTS. INDIVIDUALS
    WITH WILSON'S DISEASE ARE AT INCREASED RISK OF COPPER POISONING.
*  First Aid Measures  *
First Aid:EYE CONTACT: FLUSH EYES WITH PLENTY OF WATER. IF IRRITATION
    DEVELOPS, CALL A PHYSICIAN. SKIN CONTACT: IMMEDIATELY WASH SKIN
    WITH SOAP AND PLENTY OF WATER. IF IRRITATION PERSISTS, CALL A
    PHYSICIAN. INH ALATION: IF EXPOSED TO EXCESSIVE LEVEL OF METAL
    FUMES, REMOVE TO FRESH AIR AND SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION. INGESTION:
    PROCEDURES NORMALLY NOT NEEDED. IF LARGE QUANTITIES ARE INGESTED,
    SEEK MEDICAL ADVICE.
*  Fire Fighting Measures  *
Extinguishing Media:USE CARBON DIOXIDE, CHEMICAL FOAM OR DRY CHEMICAL.
    USE ANY MEANS FOR EXTINGUISHING SURROUNDING FIRE.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED POSITIVE PRESSURE

Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:NOT A FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD IN SOLID
    FORM. FINELY DIVIDED DUST MAY IGNITE AND BURN RAPIDLY WHEN MIXED
    WITH AIR IN THE PROPER PROPORTIONS. TOXIC METAL FUMES MAY BE
    RELEASED IN A FIRE SITUATION.
*  Accidental Release Measures  *
Spill Release Procedures:CONTAIN SPILLAGE AND SCOOP UP OR VACUUM.
    REQUIRED REFER TO EPA, DOT & APPLICABLE STATE AND LOCAL REGULATIONS
    FOR CURRENT RESPONSE INF ORMATION. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT EACH USER
    ESTABLISH A SPILL PREVENTION, CONTROL AND COUNTERMEASURE PLAN
    (SPCC). SUCH PLAN SHOULD INCLUDE PROCEDURES FOR PROPER STORAGE,
    CONTROL & CLEAN-UP OF SPILLS.
