Product name: Cadmium iodide
(Contd. of page 5)
Prolonged exposure to iodides may cause skin rash, running nose,
headache and irritation of the mucous membranes. In severe cases
the skin may show pimples, boils, redness, black and blue spots,
hives and blisters. Iodides are readily diffused across the
placenta.
Additional toxicological information:
To the best of our knowledge the acute and chronic toxicity of this
substance is not fully known.
EPA-B1: Probable human carcinogen, limited evidence of
carcinogenicity from epidemiologic studies.
IARC-1: Carcinogenic to humans: sufficient evidence of
carcinogenicity.
NTP-2: Reasonably anticipated to be a carcinogen: limited evidence
from studies in humans or sufficient evidence from studies in
experimental animals.
Carcinogen as defined by OSHA.
ACGIH A2: Suspected human carcinogen: Agent is carcinogenic in
experimental animals at dose levels, by route(s) of administration,
at site(s), of histologic type(s), or by mechanism(s) considered
relevant to worker exposure. Available epidemiologic studies are
conflicting or insufficient to confirm an increased risk of cancer
in exposed humans.
