HEALTH HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
1 Acute toxicity (Oral) Classification not possible - - - - No data. (According to the risk phrases in EU-Annex I (Access on Jun. 2005) for cadmium sulfate (anhydride), its oral toxicity is high.) * Because the data available for this substance is limited, also refer to the classification results of cadmium sulfate (anhydride) (ID No.0254, CAS No.10108-64-2) for each item related to its health hazards.
1 Acute toxicity (Dermal) Classification not possible - - - - No data available
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases) Not applicable - - - - Solid (GHS definition)
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours) Classification not possible - - - - No data available
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Dusts and mists) Classification not possible - - - - Data without. (In the risk phrases of EU-Annex I (Access on Jun.2005) of cadmium sulfate (anhydride), it is supposed that inhalation toxicity is very high.)
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 - - - - No data. (germ cell mutagenicities of cadmium sulfate (anhydride) is suspected from EU-Annex I (Access on Jun.2005) and the class of MAK/BAT (2004) (respectively respectively Muta.Cat.2 and 3A)
6 Carcinogenicity Category 1A-1B 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 ...
It is categorized into Category 1A as cadmium compounds (Group 1, Known to be human carcinogens, 1respectively) in IARC53 (1993), NTP RoC (11th, 2005) and industrial hygene academic society advice (2004), the classification (Carc.Cat.2) as cadmium compounds in IRIS(1992) and ACGIH-TLV(2004)(B1, A2, respectively) and as cadmium sulfate (anhydride) in EU-Annex I (Access on Jun.2005) are categorized into Category 1B. Since the newness etc. of sources of the both Category were almost equivalent, it was classified into Category 1A-1B. [Indication] 1A is recommended based on the safety, when the Category needs to subdivide.
7 Reproductive toxicity Category 1B Danger H360: May damage fertility or the unborn child 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 ...
In California Proposition 65 (California EPA/OEHHA, 2005), it is registered as cadmium having reproductive toxicity in sire. It was set as Category 1B.
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Category 1 (kidney) Danger H372: Cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (kidney) P260: Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray.
P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling.
P270: Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product.
P314: Get medical advice/attention if you feel unwell.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
Although there is no data of this product, there is a description of an effect on kidneys caused by repeated exposure of cadmium compounds (ACGIH-TLV (2004) in Priority 1 document). Therefore, it was classified into Category 1 (kidney).
10 Aspiration hazard Classification not possible - - - - No data available
