11. Toxicological Information
Cadmium is a known human carcinogen & reproductive toxicant. It is listed as "Known to Be a Human
Carcinogen"(Group 2A) in NTP's 8th Report on Carcinogens, 1998. The finding is supported by previous IARC
studies in experimental animals (IARC- S.7, 1987). In the U.S.A. cadmium and certain cadmium compounds are
regulated by OSHA under the Hazard Communication Standard and as chemical hazards in laboratories.
Ammonium chloride: Oral rat LD50: 1650 mg/kg. Investigated as a mutagen.
Manganese sulfate monohydrate: Oral rat LD50: 2150 mg/kg; Anhydrous investigated as a tumorigen, mutagen,
reproductive effector. Manganese metal has shown reproductive and teratogenic effects in laboratory animals.
N-1-naphthylenediamine dihydrochloride: Investigated as a tumorigen and mutagen.
Target Organs: Lungs
12. Ecological Information
Information not Available
13. Disposal Considerations
Do not dispose of cadmium-containing waste to sinks and drains. Dispose of as hazardous waste--to incinerator or
EPA approved landfill--according to federal, state and local regulations.
