[Rationale for the Classification] Because in vivo data on this substance itself available for the classification were not obtained, information on the whole cadmium compounds (as cadmium ion, Cd2+) was used for evaluation. From (1), (2), positive reports in germ cells and somatic cells were obtained on water-soluble cadmium chloride. Although water solubility of this substance is low, it may cause hazards similar to cadmium chloride when incorporated in the body, therefore, it was classified in Category 2. The category was revised by considering knowledge on the whole cadmium compounds and water solubility of this substance. [Evidence Data] (1) It is reported that after administration of cadmium (mainly cadmium chloride), chromosomal aberrations in mouse spermatocytes and hamster oocytes and altered gene expression in mouse spermatid occurred (ATSDR (2012), IARC 58 (1993)). (2) It is reported that as the result of administrating cadmium chloride to mice, dose-dependent increases in the incidences of micronuclei, sister chromatid exchanges, and chromosomal aberrations were observed in the peripheral blood. Moreover, it is reported that increased single strand breaks in the DNA were observed in rats after administrating cadmium chloride (EU-RAR (2007), DFGOT Vol. 22 (2006), NICNAS IMAP (Accessed Dec. 2018)). [Reference Data, etc.] (3) It is reported that increases in the incidences of micronuclei and sister chromatid exchanges in peripheral lymphocytes were shown in workers occupationally exposed to cadmium (compound not specified) and that human lymphocytes from people inhabiting cadmium-polluted areas of China were found to have increased micronuclei rates and a higher frequency of chromosomal aberrations and severe aberration types. However, conflicting knowledge is also reported (ATSDR (2012)). (4) As for in vivo, a dominant lethal test by administrating cadmium (mainly cadmium chloride) was negative (ATSDR (2012), IARC 58 (1993), DFGOT Vol. 22 (2006)). (5) As for in vitro, it is reported that a bacterial reverse mutation test, a chromosomal aberration test and a sister chromatid exchange test in cultured mammalian cells (CHO) were positive (NICNAS IMAP (Accessed Jan. 2019)). (6) Water solubility of this substance is 2.3 mg/L (REACH registration dossier (Accessed Feb. 2019)). (7) This substance was classified in Muta. 2 in EU CLP. |

6 | Carcinogenicity | Category 1A |
Danger |
H350 | P308+P313 P201 P202 P280 P405 P501 |
It was set as Category 1A based on the category of IARC: 1(1993). However, "as cadmium and its compound." | FY2006 | GHS Classification Manual (10 Feb, 2006) |
7 | Reproductive toxicity | Category 2 |
Warning |
H361 | P308+P313 P201 P202 P280 P405 P501 |
There is no description about the general toxicity to parent animals. However, decreases in the number of litter, foetal death, the growth inhibition and malformation of reduction of fetus were observed, and inhibitions of growth and motor activity development in newborn were also observed (IARC 58 (1993) and EHC 134 (1992)). Therefore, according to the technical guide, it was classified into Category 2. In addition, there are existing classifications, such as EU-Annex 1:Repr.Cat.3;R62-63. |

Danger |
H370 | P308+P311 P260 P264 P270 P321 P405 P501 |
The substance was classified as Category 1 (lung, respiratory organs). Based on the reports, such as "when humans are exposed to the fumes generated by heating, they may develop bronchitis, pneumonia, pulmonary edema, etc, and die in some cases" (ACGIH (2001)), and it "causes fatal pulmonary edema in animals after exposure by inhalation in high concentrations" (EHC (J) 134 (1997)). | FY2006 | GHS Classification Manual (10 Feb, 2006) |
9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Category 1 (kidney, lung, blood, bone, respiratory organs) |
Danger |
H372 | P260 P264 P270 P314 P501 |
Chronic pneumonia, emphysema, proteinuria, etc. are observed in animal experiments (PATTY (5th, 2001)). "Long duration occupational exposure produces the serious chronic effects which is mainly concerned with lungs and kidney to humans. Moreover, the symptoms of osteoporosis or osteomalacia are affected. " (EHC(J) 134 (1997)), "Chronic exposures brings humans anemia, eosinophilia, rhinits, emphysema, and tooth decolorization, and renal disease". (ACGIH (7th, 2001)) "The primary target organ of chronic disorders is the kidney". (PATTY (5th, 2001)) They were classified into Category 1 (renal, lungs, blood, bones, respiratory systems) based on these descriptions. | FY2006 | GHS Classification Manual (10 Feb, 2006) |
