PHYSICAL HAZARDS
| Hazard class | Classification | Symbol | Signal word | Hazard statement | Precautionary statement | Rationale for the classification | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Explosives | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Classification not possible due to lack of data, though being nitrates and containing chemical groups with explosive properties |
| 2 | Flammable gases （including chemically unstable gases） | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Classified as "solid" according to GHS definition |
| 3 | Aerosols | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Not aerosol products |
| 4 | Oxidizing gases | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Classified as "solid" according to GHS definition |
| 5 | Gases under pressure | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Classified as "solid" according to GHS definition |
| 6 | Flammable liquids | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Classified as "solid" according to GHS definition |
| 7 | Flammable solids | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 8 | Self-reactive substances and mixtures | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Classification not possible due to lack of data, though being nitrates and containing chemical groups with explosive properties |
| 9 | Pyrophoric liquids | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Classified as "solid" according to GHS definition |
| 10 | Pyrophoric solids | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |

| 12 | Substances and mixtures which, in contact with water, emit flammable gases | Not classified | - | - | - | - | Stable to water (water solubility: 156g/100g (25degC), Lide (84th, 2003)) |
| 13 | Oxidizing liquids | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Classified as "solid" according to GHS definition |
| 14 | Oxidizing solids | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Classification not possible due to the absence of data, though being inorganic compounds containing oxygen. Cadmium nitrate is not listed in the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, while inorganic nitrates (solid) (excluding those with specific product names) are classified into Division 5.1 (Oxidizing Substances, UN#1477). |
| 15 | Organic peroxides | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Not organic compounds |
| 16 | Corrosive to metals | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Test methods applicable to solid substances are not available |
| Hazard class | Classification | Symbol | Signal word | Hazard statement | Precautionary statement | Rationale for the classification | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Oral） | Category 3 |
|
Danger | H301: Toxic if swallowed |
P301+P310: IF SWALLOWED: Immediately call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician. P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling. P270: Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. P321: Specific treatment （see ... on this label）. P330: Rinse mouth. P405: Store locked up. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
Based on the mouse LD50 (oral route) of 100mg/kg (EHC 134 (1992)). |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Dermal） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Gases） | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Due to the fact that the substance is "solid" according to the GHS definition and inhalation of its gas is not expected. |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Vapours） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Dusts and mists） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 2 | Skin corrosion/irritation | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 3 | Serious eye damage/eye irritation | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 4 | Respiratory sensitization | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 4 | Skin sensitization | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 5 | Germ cell mutagenicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Based on the absence of data on multi-generation mutagenicity tests, germ/somatic cell mutagenicity tests and germ/somatic cell genotoxicity tests, absence of strong positive data on genotoxicity tests in vivo, described in IARC 58 (1993). As for the germ cell mutagenicity of cadmium, refer to "ID254, Cadmium Chloride, CAS: 10108-64-2." |
| 6 | Carcinogenicity | Category 1A |
|
Danger | H350: May cause cancer |
P308+P313: IF exposed or concerned: Get medical advice/attention. P201: Obtain special instructions before use. P202: Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood. P281: Use personal protective equipment as required. P405: Store locked up. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
Due to the fact that the substance is classified as Category K (as Cadmium and Cadmium Compounds) by NTP (2005), Group 1 (as Cadmium and Cadmium Compounds) by IARC (1993) and Category 1 (as Cadmium and Cadmium Compounds) by the Japan Society for Occupational Health. |
| 7 | Reproductive toxicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available As for the reproductive toxicity of cadmium, refer to "ID254, Cadmium Chloride, CAS: 10108-64-2." |
| 8 | Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available The acute toxicity of cadmium compounds manifests in humans as "chemical pneumonia and pulmonary edema following inhalation exposure, and acute/severe nausea, vomiting and gastralgia after oral exposure" (EHC 134 (1992)). |
| 9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available The chronic toxicity of cadmium compounds manifests as "renal failure, pulmonary emphysema" (EHC 134 (1992)), "hypercalcinuria, decreased blood phosphate levels, nephrolithiasis, osteoporosis and osteomalacia" (CaPSAR (1994)). |
| 10 | Aspiration hazard | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| Hazard class | Classification | Symbol | Signal word | Hazard statement | Precautionary statement | Rationale for the classification | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment （Acute） | Category 1 |
|
Warning | H400: Very toxic to aquatic life |
P273: Avoid release to the environment. P391: Collect spillage. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
It was classified into Category 1 from 96 hours LC50=0.0066mg/L(Cadmium Nitrate Equivalent: 0.0139mg/L) of the fish (Rainbow Trout) (EHC135, 1992). |
| 11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment （Long-term） | Category 1 |
|
Warning | H410: Very toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects |
P273: Avoid release to the environment. P391: Collect spillage. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
Since acute toxicity was Category 1, there was bio-accumulation (BCF=660 (Existing Chemical Safety Inspections Data)) and it was a metallic compound and the underwater action was unknown, it was classified into Category 2. |
