Carcinogens

The reaction between iodine monochloride & cadium sulfide ... is vigorous.

Cadmium initially binds to metallothionein and is transported to the kidney. Toxic effects are observed once the concentration of cadmium exceeds that of available metallothionein, and it has also been shown that the cadmium-metallothionein complex may be damaging. Accumulation of cadmium in the kidney results in increased excretion of vital low and high weight molecular proteins. Cadmium is a high affinity zinc analog and can interfere in its biological processes. It also binds to and activates the estrogen receptor, likely stimulating the growth of certain types of cancer cells and causing other estrogenic effects, such as reproductive dysfunction. Cadmium causes cell apoptosis by activating mitogen-activated protein kinases. (L8, A18, A19, A28)

Evaluation: There is sufficient evidence in humans for the carcinogenicity of cadmium and cadmium compounds. There is sufficient evidence in experimental animals for the carcinogenicity of cadmium compounds. There is limited evidence in experimental animals for the carcinogenicity of cadmium metal. In making the overall evaluation, the Working Group took into consideration the evidence that ionic cadmium causes genotoxic effects in a variety of types of eukaryotic cells, including human cells. Overall evaluation: Cadmium and cadmium compounds are carcinogenic to humans (Group 1). /Cadmium and cadmium compounds/

CLASSIFICATION: B1; probable human carcinogen. BASIS FOR CLASSIFICATION: Limited evidence from occupational epidemiologic studies of cadmium is consistent across investigators and study populations. There is sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity in rats and mice by inhalation and intramuscular and subcutaneous injection. Seven studies in rats and mice wherein cadmium salts (acetate, sulfate, chloride) were administered orally have shown no evidence of carcinogenic response.

If patient is not breathing, start artificial respiration, preferably with a demand-valve resuscitator, bag-valve-mask device, or pocket mask, as trained. Perform CPR as necessary. Immediately flush contaminated eyes with gently flowing water. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain an open airway and prevent aspiration. Keep patient quiet and maintain normal body temperature. Obtain medical attention. /Cadmium and Related Compounds/

Basic treatment: Establish a patent airway (oropharyngeal or nasopharyngeal airway, if needed). Suction if necessary.

/SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS/ Cadmium sulfide is sometimes used as a yellow tattoo pigment, which is deposited intradermally. Local phototoxic reactions may take place when the skin is exposed to ultraviolet light and are probably connected with the marked photoconducting properties of cadmium sulfide.

/LABORATORY ANIMALS: Subchronic or Prechronic Exposure/ The purpose of this study was to assess the bioavailability and pulmonary toxicity of ZnCdS in rats. Groups of 30 male Fischer 344 rats each were anesthetized and dosed via intratracheal instillation with 5 mg of either ZnCdS, quartz (positive control), or titanium dioxide (TiO2), negative control) suspended in 0.5 mL saline. A vehicle control group received 0.5 mL saline. Ten animals from each test group were sacrificed at 1 day, 1 wk, and 14 wk after dosing for bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) analysis and histopathology. The BALF was analyzed for alkaline phosphatase, acid phosphatase, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), beta-glucuronidase (beta-glu), total protein, and cell counts. Two separate groups of 24 rats each were dosed as already described with either ZnCdS or saline. Eight rats from each group were sacrificed at 1 day, 1 wk, and 14 wk after dosing for determination of cadmium (Cd) and zinc (Zn) concentrations in the lung, liver, kidney, and blood. Results indicate that at 1 day after dosing, all enzyme activities (except acid phosphatase) and cell counts in BALF from the quartz and ZnCdS groups were significantly higher than in the TiO2 and saline groups. At 7 days after dosing, high enzyme activity persisted in the quartz group, while the ZnCdS group showed only LDH and total protein levels significantly higher than the saline group. At 14 wk after dosing, LDH, total protein, beta-glu, and cell counts in the quartz group were significantly higher than all other groups. Histologic examination revealed interstitial inflammation and accumulation of foreign material in the lungs and mediastinal lymph nodes of quartz-, TiO2-, and ZnCdS-treated rats. Metal analyses in tissues showed profuse Cd and Zn concentrations in the lung 1 day after dosing, followed by a successive decline at 7 days and 14 wk after dosing. A very small, but statistically significant, amount of Cd and Zn was found in the kidneys at 14 wk after dosing. In conclusion, ZnCdS appears to cause temporary lung inflammation, is cleared slowly, and is poorly bioavailable. /Zinccadmiumsulfide/

Cadmium sulfide (CAS # 1306-23-6; 10% in 0.5% Jaguar) was evaluated for acute oral toxicity in groups of rats (8/sex/group) exposed by oral gavage to doses ranging from 1600 to 3200 mg/kg. Treatment was associated with no mortality, slight weakness, rough coats, and light-colored feces. On necropsy, gross changes in males included flaccid and more liquid testes with congested pin-point vessels. The authors reported an oral LD50 in rats greater than 3200 mg/kg.

LC50; Species: Daphnia magna (Water flea) age <24 hr neonate; Conditions: freshwater, static, pH 7.5-9.1; Concentration: 11 ug/L for 48 hr

/AQUATIC SPECIES/ The toxicity of chemicals in sediments is influenced by the extent that chemicals bind to the sediment. It is shown that acid volatile sulfide (AVS) is the sediment phase that determines the LC50 for cadmium in the marine sediments tested. Although it is well known that metals can form insoluble sulfides, it apparently has not been recognized that AVS is a reactive pool of solid phase sulfide that is available to bind with metals. Amphipod sediment toxicity tests were conducted in the laboratory and the observed amphipod LC50s on a normalized cadmium concentration basis, [Cd]/[AVS], is the same for sediments with over an order of magnitude difference in dry weight normalized cadmium LC50s. Because other toxic metals also form insoluble sulfides, it is likely that AVS is important in determining their toxicity in sediments as well. Most freshwater and marine sediments contain sufficient acid volatile sulfide for this phase to be the predominant determinant of toxicity. The other sorption phases are expected to be important only for low AVS sediments, for example, fully oxidized sediments. From the point of view of sediment quality criteria the other sorption phases would be important for metals with large partition coefficients and large chronic water quality criteria.

Bioaccumulation of this chemical may occur in crustacea and plants. It is strongly advised not to let the chemical enter into the environment because it is persistent.

/Occurs in/ a greenockite (cadmium sulfide) ore containing zinc sulfide ...

Cadmium compounds are naturally occurring, albeit relatively rare, and are widely distributed in the earth's crust; crustal abundance is between 0.1 and 0.5 ppm(1,2). Several minerals of cadmium have been identified, the most common of which is greenockite, CdS(2). Cadmium is usually found in zinc ores in which the CdS crystals are isomorphic to the zinc mineral sphalerite, ZnS(2).

NIOSH (NOES Survey 1981-1983) has statistically estimated that 42,562 workers (16,685 of these were female) were potentially exposed to cadmium sulfide in the US(1).
