| Abstract |
Metallic cadmium (Cd) is highly toxic in animals when ingested and moderately toxic when inhaled. Both Cd and Cd telluride have marked cumulative properties and constitute a severe risk of chronic poisoning. Cd telluride poisoning is characterised by calcium metabolism and thermoregulation disorders. The pneumatic, fibrogenic and gonadotropic effects of Cd telluride are similar to those of metallic Cd and other Cd compounds; they are due to the presence of the Cd ion in the molecule of the substance. A threshold limit value of 0.5mg/m3 for Cd telluride in the workplace air is recommended as a precaution. |
