Additional Information
RTECS: Not available
Acute inhalation exposure to cadmium fumes may cause "metal fume fever"
with flu-like symptoms of weakness, fever, headache, chills, nausea,
vomiting, dizziness, sweating, muscular pain, cough and difficulty
breathing. Acute pulmonary edema may develop within 24 hours and
reaches a maximum by three days. The first chronic effect of exposure
to cadmium is generally kidney damage, manifested by excretion of
excessive protein in the urine, followed by anemia, teeth discoloration
and loss of smell.
Cadmium also is believed to cause pulmonary emphysema and bone disease.
