| Abstract |
Chemical safety information sheet. Exposure limits: OSHA PEL (TWA) = 0.2mg cadmium/m3, ceiling limit = 0.6mg cadmium/m3, TWA limit for cadmium oxide fume = 0.11mg/m3; ACGIH (1980) TLV = 0.05mg/m3 (dust and cadmium oxide), ceiling limit for cadmium oxide fume = 0.05mg/m3; IDLH (NIOSH/OSHA, 1978) = 0.04mg cadmium/m3. Lethal exposure for man has been established at 50mg cadmium/m3 for 1h for cadmium oxide dust and for 30min for the fume. These concentrations may be inhaled without sufficient discomfort to warn workers of exposure. Toxic effects: tracheobronchitis, pneumonitis, pulmonary oedema, kidney and lung damage. |
