If there is any doubt, oxygen content can be checked simplyand quickly. It may not be appropriate to only recommend an exposure standard for simpleasphyxiants rather it is essential that sufficient oxygen be maintained. Air normally has21 percent oxygen by volume, with 18 percent regarded as minimum under normal atmosphericpressure to maintain consciousness / life. At pressures significantly higher or lowerthan normal atmospheric pressure, expert guidance should be sought.PERSONAL PROTECTIONEYENo special equipment for minor exposure i.e. when handling small quantities.- OTHERWISE:- Safety glasses with side shields.- Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb andconcentrate irritants. A written policy document, describing the wearing of lens orrestrictions on use, should be created for each workplace or task. This should include areview of lens absorption and adsorption for the class of chemicals in use and an accountof injury experience. Medical and first-aid personnel should be trained in their removaland suitable equipment should be readily available. In the event of chemical exposure,begin eye irrigation immediately and remove contact lens as soon as practicable. Lensshould be removed at the first signs of eye redness or irritation - lens should beremoved in a clean environment only after workers have washed hands thoroughly.

Perform CPR if necessary.- Transport to hospital, or doctor.NOTES TO PHYSICIANFor acute or short term repeated exposures to petroleum distillates or relatedhydrocarbons:- Primary threat to life, from pure petroleum distillate ingestion and/or inhalation, isrespiratory failure.- Patients should be quickly evaluated for signs of respiratory distress (e.g. cyanosis,tachypnoea, intercostal retraction, obtundation) and given oxygen. Patients withinadequate tidal volumes or poor arterial blood gases (pO2 50 mm Hg) should be intubated.- Arrhythmias complicate some hydrocarbon ingestion and/or inhalation andelectrocardiographic evidence of myocardial injury has been reported; intravenous linesand cardiac monitors should be established in obviously symptomatic patients. The lungsexcrete inhaled solvents, so that hyperventilation improves clearance.- A chest x-ray should be taken immediately after stabilisation of breathing andcirculation to document aspiration and detect the presence of pneumothorax.- Epinephrine (adrenalin) is not recommended for treatment of bronchospasm because ofpotential myocardial sensitisation to catecholamines. Inhaled cardioselectivebronchodilators (e.g. Alupent, Salbutamol) are the preferred agents, with aminophylline asecond choice.- Lavage is indicated in patients who require decontamination; ensure use of cuffedendotracheal tube in adult patients.

This zoneassumes that random changes in wind direction confines the vapour plume to an area within 30 degrees oneither side of the predominant wind direction, resulting in a crosswind protective action distance equalto the downwind protective action distance.2 PROTECTIVE ACTIONS should be initiated to the extent possible, beginning with those closest to the spilland working away from the site in the downwind direction. Within the protective action zone a level ofvapour concentration may exist resulting in nearly all unprotected persons becoming incapacitated andunable to take protective action and/or incurring serious or irreversible health effects.3 INITIAL ISOLATION ZONE is determined as an area, including upwind of the incident, within which a highprobability of localised wind reversal may expose nearly all persons without appropriate protection tocontinued...

Historically occupational exposure standards for theseirritants have been based on observation of workers' responses to various airborneconcentrations. Present day expectations require that nearly every individual should beprotected against even minor sensory irritation and exposure standards are establishedusing uncertainty factors or safety factors of 5 to 10 or more. On occasion animal noobservable-effect-levels(NOEL) are used to determine these limits where human resultsare unavailable. An additional approach, typically used by the TLV committee (USA) indetermining respiratory standards for this group of chemicals, has been to assign ceilingvalues (TLV C) to rapidly acting irritants and to assign short-term exposure limits (TLVSTELs) when the weight of evidence from irritation, bioaccumulation and other endpointscombine to warrant such a limit. In contrast the MAK Commission (Germany) uses a fivecategorysystem based on intensive odour, local irritation, and elimination half-life.However this system is being replaced to be consistent with the European Union (EU)Scientific Committee for Occupational Exposure Limits (SCOEL); this is more closelyallied to that of the USA.OSHA (USA) concluded that exposure to sensory irritants can:- cause inflammation- cause increased susceptibility to other irritants and infectious agents- lead to permanent injury or dysfunction- permit greater absorption of hazardous substances and- acclimate the worker to the irritant warning properties of these substances thusincreasing the risk of overexposure.continued...

Higherconcentrations for shorter periods produce marked vertigo, incoordination and hilarity.Signs of central nervous system depression occur in the absence of mucous membraneirritation. Brief exposures to high levels (5000 ppm for 4 minutes) produce nausea, lossof appetite and a "gasoline-like" taste in the mouth that persists for many hours afterexposure ceases.CARBON DIOXIDE:NOTE: Detector tubes for carbon dioxide, measuring in excess of 0.01 % vol.,are commercially available. Long-term measurements (4 hrs) may beconducted to detect concentrations exceeding 250 ppm.Studies using physically fit males in confined spaces indicate the TLV-TWAand STEL provides a wide margin of safety against asphyxiation and fromundue metabolic stress, provided normal amounts of oxygen are present ininhaled air. Lowered oxygen content, increased physical activity andprolonged exposures each impact on systemic and respiratory effects.Stimulation of the respiratory centre is produced at 50,000 ppm (5%). Thegas is weakly narcotic at 30,000 ppm giving rise to reduced acuity ofhearing and increasing blood pressure and pulse, Persons exposed at20,000 ppm for several hours developed headaches and dyspnea on mildexertion, Acidosis and adrenal cortical exhaustion occurred as a resultof prolonged continuous exposure at 10,000-20,0000 ppm.Intoxication occurs after a 30 minute exposure at 50,000 ppm whilstexposure at 70,000-100,000 ppm produces unconsciousness within a fewminutes.PERSONAL PROTECTIONEYENo special equipment for minor exposure i.e. when handling small quantities.OTHERWISE: For potentially moderate or heavy exposures:- Safety glasses with side shields.- NOTE: Contact lenses pose a special hazard; soft lenses may absorb irritants and ALLlenses concentrate them.HANDS/FEET- Neoprene rubber gloves.- No special equipment needed when handling small quantities.- OTHERWISE:- For potentially moderate exposures:- Wear general protective gloves, eg. light weight rubber gloves.- For potentially heavy exposures:- Wear chemical protective gloves, eg.

Serious poisonings may result inrespiratory depression and may be fatal.If exposure to highly concentrated solvent atmosphere is prolonged this may lead tonarcosis, unconsciousness, even coma and possible death.Material is highly volatile and may quickly form a concentrated atmosphere in confined orunventilated areas. Vapour is heavier than air and may displace and replace air inbreathing zone, acting as a simple asphyxiant. This may happen with little warning ofoverexposure.WARNING:Intentional misuse by concentrating/inhaling contents may be lethal.CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTSSubstance accumulation, in the human body, may occur and may cause some concern followingrepeated or long-term occupational exposure.Principal route of occupational exposure to the gas is by inhalation.Chronic solvent inhalation exposures may result in nervous system impairment and liverand blood changes. [PATTYS].Although long-term exposure to carbon dioxide, at levels up to 1.5% in inhaled air, arewell tolerated, the metabolism of calcium/phosphorus metabolism may be affected. Calciumlevels in the blood and phosphorus in the urine progressively fall. Long-term exposure at2% concentration may produce deepened breathing. At 3%, impaired performance is evident.However, after long exposure to low levels, tolerance may develop.Reproductive effects may occur in animals.TOXICITY AND IRRITATIONNot available.

Present day expectations require that nearly every individual should beprotected against even minor sensory irritation and exposure standards are establishedusing uncertainty factors or safety factors of 5 to 10 or more. On occasion animal noobservable-effect-levels(NOEL) are used to determine these limits where human resultsare unavailable. An additional approach, typically used by the TLV committee (USA) indetermining respiratory standards for this group of chemicals, has been to assign ceilingvalues (TLV C) to rapidly acting irritants and to assign short-term exposure limits (TLVSTELs) when the weight of evidence from irritation, bioaccumulation and other endpointscombine to warrant such a limit. In contrast the MAK Commission (Germany) uses a fivecategorysystem based on intensive odour, local irritation, and elimination half-life.However this system is being replaced to be consistent with the European Union (EU)Scientific Committee for Occupational Exposure Limits (SCOEL); this is more closelyallied to that of the USA.OSHA (USA) concluded that exposure to sensory irritants can:- cause inflammation- cause increased susceptibility to other irritants and infectious agents- lead to permanent injury or dysfunction- permit greater absorption of hazardous substances and- acclimate the worker to the irritant warning properties of these substances thusincreasing the risk of overexposure.None assigned.

This is because of the lack of corroborating animal or humanevidence. The material may still be damaging to the health of the individual, followingingestion, especially where pre-existing organ (eg. liver, kidney) damage is evident.Present definitions of harmful or toxic substances are generally based on doses producingmortality rather than those producing morbidity (disease, ill-health). Gastrointestinaltract discomfort may produce nausea and vomiting. In an occupational setting however,ingestion of insignificant quantities is not thought to be cause for concern.EYEThere is some evidence to suggest that this material can cause eye irritation and damagein some persons.SKINThe liquid may be miscible with fats or oils and may degrease the skin, producing a skinreaction described as non-allergic contact dermatitis. The material is unlikely toproduce an irritant dermatitis as described in EC Directives .Open cuts, abraded or irritated skin should not be exposed to this material.Entry into the blood-stream, through, for example, cuts, abrasions or lesions, mayproduce systemic injury with harmful effects. Examine the skin prior to the use of thematerial and ensure that any external damage is suitably protected.INHALEDThe material is not thought to produce adverse health effects or irritation of therespiratory tract (as classified by EC Directives using animal models). Nevertheless,good hygiene practice requires that exposure be kept to a minimum and that suitablecontrol measures be used in an occupational setting.Not normally a hazard due to non-volatile nature of product.continued...

Dermal contact with oils and rubberarticles containing N-phenyl-1-naphthylamine may occur in the workplace.Based upon studies conducted with laboratory animals, N-phenyl-1-naphthylamine is wellabsorbed and extensively excreted after ingestion. Following ingestion by rats, 60% ofthe administered dose was excreted in the faeces and 35% in the urine within 72 h.Several unidentified metabolites of N-phenyl-1-naphthylamine have been detected in theurine of exposed rats. On the basis of in vitro studies, metabolism likely occursprimarily via hydroxylation. The acute oral toxicity of N-phenyl-1-naphthylamine inlaboratory animals is low. In standard tests with rabbits, N-phenyl-1-naphthylamine wasreported to be neither a skin irritant nor an eye irritant. However, the skin sensitizingproperties of N-phenyl-1-naphthylamine were revealed in the guinea-pig maximization testas well as in humans exposed to greases or rubber materials containing this chemical.Limited data indicate that the kidneys and liver are the main target organs followingingestion. Adequate studies with which to derive putative effect levels were notidentified. The potential carcinogenicity of N-phenyl-1-naphthylamine could not be fullyevaluated, as none of the available studies was performed according to currently acceptedstandard protocols. N-Phenyl-1-naphthylamine was not mutagenic in bacterial <strong>cell</strong>s, norwere the frequencies of gene mutation (mouse lymphoma assay) or chromosomal aberrations(in vitro metaphase analysis in Chinese hamster ovary <strong>cell</strong>s or Chinese hamster lung<strong>cell</strong>s) increased in these <strong>cell</strong> types exposed in vitro. A marginally positive result in asister chromatid exchange assay conducted with Chinese hamster ovary <strong>cell</strong>s in thepresence of metabolic activation has been reported. Unscheduled DNA synthesis wasincreased in exposed human lung (WI-38) <strong>cell</strong>s; however, the effects were not clearlyconcentration dependent. N-Phenyl-1-naphthylamine was negative in a dominant lethal testconducted in mice. Based upon the available data, N-phenyl-1-naphthylamine does notappear to be genotoxic. Data on the reproductive/developmental toxicity and onimmunological or neurological effects of N-phenyl-1-naphthylamine were not identified. Ancontinued...

Laboratory studies yielded half-lives for thephotochemical degradation of N-phenyl-1-naphthylamine in water of 8.4 and 5.7 min.Photolysis may lead to the preliminary breakdown of N-phenyl-1-naphthylamine underfavourable environmental conditions, but further degradation is unlikely. The substanceis stable to hydrolysis under environmental conditions, and removal by biodegradation inwater and soil is slow. Owing to its moderate to high potential for sorption to organicsoil constituents and its limited mineralization in soil, N-phenyl-1-naphthylamine ispresumed to have geoaccumulation potential. The probability of infiltration intogroundwater is low. Based upon studies with Daphnia and fish and its measured log Kow of4.2, N-phenyl-1-naphthylamine is expected to have a moderate potential forbioaccumulation. Nevertheless, secondary poisoning of higher trophic levels via theaquatic food-chain seems unlikely in view of the chemical's metabolism and extensiveexcretion. The acute toxicity of N-phenyl-1-naphthylamine in fish and Daphnia is high,with lowest reported no-observed-effect concentrations (NOECs) of 0.11 mg/litre (192 h)and 0.02 mg/litre (21 days), respectively. Despite limited hydrolytic or bioticdegradation, the bioavailability of this chemical in water is expected to be considerablyreduced by sorption and photochemical degradation.Based on its ultraviolet absorption spectrum, direct photochemical degradation of N-phenyl-1-naphthylamine in air is expected. Measured half-lives for the photochemicaldegradation of the chemical in water have been reported at 8.4 and 5.7 min. It cantherefore be concluded that photolysis may lead to preliminary breakdown of N-phenyl-1-naphthylamine under favourable environmental conditions, but that further degradation isunlikely. From experiments conducted in aqueous solution, hydrolysis of N-phenyl-1-naphthylamine under environmental conditions is expected to be of limited import.In tests with conditions favouring biodegradation, N-phenyl-1-naphthylamine was degradedwith a half-life ranging from 4 to 11 days (inocula: domestic sewage and lake water,continued...

Incontrast to the aquatic studies, the addition of degradable substrates reduced ratherthan accelerated degradation. It was suggested that the organic materials increasedsorption of the N-phenyl-1-naphthylamine. The reported lower degradation in soil maytherefore reflect reduced bioavailability of the N-phenyl-1-naphthylamine. Koc values of2400 and 4600, respectively, were calculated for N-phenyl-1-naphthylamine. Thus, soilsorption is predicted to be moderate to high. From this expected sorption to organic soilconstituents and its limited mineralisation in soil, N-phenyl-1-naphthylamine is presumedto have geoaccumulation potential. The probability of infiltration into groundwater islow.Considering its measured log Kow of 4.2 and data from laboratory tests with Daphnia andfreshwater fish, N-phenyl-1-naphthylamine is classified as a substance with moderatebioaccumulation potential For Daphnia magna, a mean bioconcentration factor (related toradioactivity) of 637 was calculated following exposure to [14C] N-phenyl-1-naphthylaminein a static test (solubilizer: acetone; steady state after 12 h). About 50% of theaccumulated radioactivity had been eliminated after 53 h in clean water. Bioconcentrationfactors ranging from 432 to 1285 (related to radioactivity) and from 233 to 694 (relatedto N-phenyl-1-naphthylamine) were determined in a flow-through system (sublethal N-phenyl-1-naphthylamine concentration) for the bluegill sunfish (Lepomis macrochirus) at steadystate. Depuration was biphasic, with an elimination of [14C] N-phenyl-1-naphthylamine of>90% after 8 days; radioactivity could still be detected 32 days after treatment.Bioconcentration factors for N-phenyl-1-naphthylamine in common carp (Cyprinus carpio),measured in a flow-through system after 8 weeks, were on the same order of magnitude. N-phenyl-1-naphthylamine is metabolised by terrestrial and aquatic microorganisms and byfish to at least two or three unidentified metabolites.Partition Coefficient logP octanol/water = 4.2Ecological information:No BOD was detectable under the conditions of OECD 301C.Fish toxicity LC50: 10000 mg/L/21 dy (Daphnia magna var.

Each user must refer to laws operating in their area. In some areas, certainwastes must be tracked.A Hierarchy of Controls seems to be common - the user should investigate:- Reduction,- Reuse- Recycling- Disposal (if all else fails)This material may be recycled if unused, or if it has not been contaminated so as to makeit unsuitable for its intended use. If it has been contaminated, it may be possible toreclaim the product by filtration, distillation or some other means. Shelf lifeconsiderations should also be applied in making decisions of this type. Note thatproperties of a material may change in use, and recycling or reuse may not always beappropriate.- DO NOT allow wash water from cleaning or process equipment to enter drains.- It may be necessary to collect all wash water for treatment before disposal.- In all cases disposal to sewer may be subject to local laws and regulations and theseshould be considered first.- Where in doubt contact the responsible authority.continued...

This is because of the lack of corroborating animal or humanevidence. The material may still be damaging to the health of the individual, followingingestion, especially where pre-existing organ (eg. liver, kidney) damage is evident.Present definitions of harmful or toxic substances are generally based on doses producingmortality rather than those producing morbidity (disease, ill-health). Gastrointestinaltract discomfort may produce nausea and vomiting. In an occupational setting however,ingestion of insignificant quantities is not thought to be cause for concern.EYEAlthough the liquid is not thought to be an irritant (as classified by EC Directives),direct contact with the eye may produce transient discomfort characterised by tearing orconjunctival redness (as with windburn).SKINThe liquid may be miscible with fats or oils and may degrease the skin, producing a skinreaction described as non-allergic contact dermatitis. The material is unlikely toproduce an irritant dermatitis as described in EC Directives .The material may accentuate any pre-existing dermatitis condition.Open cuts, abraded or irritated skin should not be exposed to this material.Entry into the blood-stream, through, for example, cuts, abrasions or lesions, mayproduce systemic injury with harmful effects. Examine the skin prior to the use of thematerial and ensure that any external damage is suitably protected.INHALEDThe material is not thought to produce adverse health effects or irritation of therespiratory tract (as classified by EC Directives using animal models). Nevertheless,good hygiene practice requires that exposure be kept to a minimum and that suitablecontrol measures be used in an occupational setting.Inhalation hazard is increased at higher temperatures.Not normally a hazard due to non-volatile nature of product.Inhalation of oil droplets or aerosols may cause discomfort and may produce chemicalinflammation of the lungs.CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTSSubstance accumulation, in the human body, may occur and may cause some concern followingrepeated or long-term occupational exposure.Oil may contact the skin or be inhaled. Extended exposure can lead to eczema,inflammation of hair follicles, pigmentation of the face and warts on the soles of thefeet. There are few systemic effects, but prolonged exposure may lead to a higherincidence of lung scarring.TOXICITY AND IRRITATIONNot available.

Evidence for added risk of carcinoma of the lung and prostate has beenreported amongst smelter workers but exposure to other toxic fumes, gases and dusts is aconfounding factor. Most of the data on cadmium levels responsible for these observedeffects indicated exposures above the former TLV ceiling of 0.1 mg/m3 for cadmium fume.It is anticipated that the total dust recommendation will prevent the development ofpreclinical kidney dysfunction and that the respirable fraction recommendation willprotect the lower respiratory tract from the accumulation of cadmium burden that mightdirectly act on the lung as a carcinogen. It is also expected that the recommendationswill protect workers from metal fume fever. The concentration of respirable dust forapplication of this limit is to be determined from the fraction that penetrates aseparator whose size collection efficiency is described by a cumulative log normalfunction with a median aerodynamic volume of 4.0 µm (+-) 0.3 µm and with a geometricstandard deviation of 1.5 µm (+-) 0.1 µm, i.e. less than 5 µm. Some jurisdictions requirethat health surveillance be conducted on occupationally exposed workers.Such surveillance should emphasise- demography, occupational and medical history- health advice, including counselling on additional cadmium burden from smoking- physical examination with emphasis on the respiratory system- completion of a standardised respiratory questionnaire- standardised respiratory function tests such as FEV1, FVC and FEV1/FVC- urinary cadmium and beta2-microglobulin- records of personal exposure.NICKEL(II) HYDROXIDE:NOTE: Detector tubes for nickel, measuring in excess of 0.25 mg/m3 (as Ni) arecommercially available.Use control measures / protective gear to avoid personal contact. Animal inhalationstudies with insoluble nickel dusts (other than nickel sulfide) at concentrations of 1 to3 mg/m3 show no difference in respiratory cancer between exposed and control animals.These studies do not provide evidence that there is no excess risk of lung and nasalcancer - in view of limited exposure data and the absence of guidance for a TLV based onepidemiological studies of nickel induced respiratory tract cancer, it has been necessaryto incorporate the results of animal studies that have demonstrated the production ofpulmonary pathology. These studies have shown consistent pulmonary damage followinginhalation of 0.1 to 1 mg/m3 insoluble inorganic nickel compounds. Individuals who may behypersusceptible or otherwise unusually responsive to industrial chemicals may not beadequately protected against adverse health effects from nickel or its compounds atconcentrations below the recommended or proposed TLV.POTASSIUM HYDROXIDE:Sensory irritants are chemicals that produce temporary and undesirable side-effects onthe eyes, nose or throat. Historically occupational exposure standards for theseirritants have been based on observation of workers' responses to various airborneconcentrations. Present day expectations require that nearly every individual should beprotected against even minor sensory irritation and exposure standards are establishedusing uncertainty factors or safety factors of 5 to 10 or more. On occasion animal noobservable-effect-levels(NOEL) are used to determine these limits where human resultsare unavailable. An additional approach, typically used by the TLV committee (USA) indetermining respiratory standards for this group of chemicals, has been to assign ceilingvalues (TLV C) to rapidly acting irritants and to assign short-term exposure limits (TLVSTELs) when the weight of evidence from irritation, bioaccumulation and other endpointscombine to warrant such a limit. In contrast the MAK Commission (Germany) uses a fivecontinued...

Examine the skin prior to the use of thematerial and ensure that any external damage is suitably protected.INHALEDNot normally a hazard due to non-volatile nature of product.Cadmium is absorbed more from the respiratory tract than the intestinal tract. Staging ofsymptoms include an initial, acute swelling of the lungs, followed by inflammation of thelungs after several days and chronic permanent scarring. 40mg of cadmium with 4mgretention in the lungs in humans will probably cause death. Accumulation of cadmium inthe kidney can also cause permanent damage, even after a single intravenous dose.CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTSRepeated or prolonged exposure to corrosives may result in the erosion of teeth,inflammatory and ulcerative changes in the mouth and necrosis (rarely) of the jaw.Bronchial irritation, with cough, and frequent attacks of bronchial pneumonia may ensue.Gastrointestinal disturbances may also occur. Chronic exposures may result in dermatitisand/or conjunctivitis.Skin contact with the material is more likely to cause a sensitisation reaction in somepersons compared to the general population.Ample evidence from experiments exists that there is a suspicionthis material directly reduces fertility.Based on experience with animal studies, exposure to the material may result in toxiceffects to the development of the foetus, at levels which do not cause significant toxiceffects to the mother.Laboratory (in vitro) and animal studies show, exposure to the material may result in apossible risk of irreversible effects, with the possibility of producing mutation.Substance accumulation, in the human body, may occur and may cause some concern followingrepeated or long-term occupational exposure.There is some evidence that inhaling this product is more likely to cause a sensitisationreaction in some persons compared to the general population.Chronic cadmium poisoning causes softening of the bones, reduced bone density, kidneystones and increased blood pressure. There may be cardiovascular disease and a yellowring in the tooth structure. Repeated or prolonged exposure can lead to loss of smell,ulcers in the nose, emphysema and mild anaemia.

This may be due to a non-allergenic condition known as reactive airwaysdysfunction syndrome (RADS) which can occur following exposure to high levels of highlyirritating compound. Key criteria for the diagnosis of RADS include the absence ofpreceding respiratory disease, in a non-atopic individual, with abrupt onset ofpersistent asthma-like symptoms within minutes to hours of a documented exposure to theirritant. A reversible airflow pattern, on spirometry, with the presence of moderate tosevere bronchial hyperreactivity on methacholine challenge testing and the lack ofminimal lymphocytic inflammation, without eosinophilia, have also been included in thecriteria for diagnosis of RADS. RADS (or asthma) following an irritating inhalation is aninfrequent disorder with rates related to the concentration of and duration of exposureto the irritating substance.

Once released to surface waters and moist soils theirfate depends on solubility and dissociation in water. Environmental processes (such asoxidation and the presence of acids or bases) may transform insoluble metals to moresoluble ionic forms. Microbiological processes may also transform insoluble metals tomore soluble forms. Such ionic species may bind to dissolved ligands or sorb to solidparticles in aquatic or aqueous media. A significant proportion of dissolved/ sorbedmetals will end up in sediments through the settling of suspended particles. Theremaining metal ions can then be taken up by aquatic organisms.When released to dry soil most metals will exhibit limited mobility and remain in theupper layer; some will leach locally into ground water and/ or surface water ecosystemswhen soaked by rain or melt ice. Environmental processes may also be important inchanging solubilities.Even though many metals show few toxic effects at physiological pHs, transformation mayintroduce new or magnified effects.A metal ion is considered infinitely persistent because it cannot degrade further.The current state of science does not allow for an unambiguous interpretation of variousmeasures of bioaccumulation.The counter-ion may also create heath and environmental concerns once isolated from themetal. Under normal physiological conditions the counter-ion may be essentially insolubleand may not be bioavailable.Environmental processes may enhance bioavailability.Transport and distribution of nickel particulates between different environmentalcompartments, is strongly influenced by particle size. Fine particulate matter has alonger residence time in the environment and is carried a long distance from its source;larger particles are deposited near the emission source. Atmospheric residence time fornickel particulates is estimated to be 5.4-7.9 days. Water solubility and bioavailabilityis affected by soil pH; decrease in pH generally mobilises nickel, thus acid rain canmobilise nickel from the soil and increase nickel concentrations in ground water. Nickelbioaccumulates in the food chain but is not bioconcentrated.Drinking Water Standards:Nickel 50 ug/l (UK max.)20 ug/l (WHO guideline)Soil Guidelines:Dutch Criteria: 35 mg/kg (target)210 mg/kg (intervention).The importance of cadmium in environmental disease is illustrated in the outbreak of itaiitaidisease caused by the contamination of rice paddies in Japan by smelter waste.Cadmium toxicity affected the skeletal system of inhabitants of the region resulting insevere bony deformities and chronic renal disease.Although cadmium exposure has beenimplicated in the pathogenesis of the syndrome, vitamin D deficiencies and othernutritional deficiencies are also thought to be implicated.("Itai-itai" translates to"ouch-ouch" reflecting the accompanying bone pain).Sewage sludge and phosphatefertilisers are often contaminated with cadmium which then concentrates in plants grownon contaminated soils. Compared with other heavy metals cadmium is mobile in the aqueousenvironment and may exist as the hydrated ion, as complexes with carbonate, chloride orsulfate or with humic acids. Cadmium thus tends to move in the environment and is widelydistributed. It is taken up by organisms and is bioaccumulated. Bioconcentration in theaquatic environment is greatest in invertebrates such as mollusks and crustaceans,followed by fish and plants. However, under reducing conditions, cadmium forms theinsoluble sulfide and precipitates in the sediment.The biological production of sulfidealso promotes the formation of cadmium sulfide.Cadmium is one of the most readilyabsorbed metals in plants grown on contaminated soils and the potential forbioaccumulation is substantial. Zinc and calcium are also thought to bioaccumulate withcadmium with a resultant protective action against its toxic effects.Significant compartments for soluble cadmium salts are likely to be soil and water.Cadmium(II) adsorbs to sediments. Once in an aquatic environment cadmium is highly mobile;its dissolved species are highly labile and are first to be released, for example, whensalinity is increased in estuaries. In fresh water, cadmium toxicity is influenced bywater hardness (the harder the water, the lower the toxicity). Cadmium can bioaccumulatecontinued...

Biomagnification in terrestrial food chains is notexpected.Cadmium is more mobile in aquatic environments than most other heavy metals (e.g., lead).In most natural surface waters, the affinities of complexing ligands for cadmiumgenerally follow the order of humic acids > CO3 2- > OH- > Cl- > SO4 2-. In unpollutednatural waters, most cadmium transported in the water column will exist in the dissolvedstate as the hydrated ion Cd(H2O)6 2+. Minor amounts of cadmium are transported with thecoarse particulates, and only a small fraction is transported with the colloids. Inunpolluted waters, cadmium can be removed from solution by exchange of cadmium forcalcium in the lattice structure of carbonate minerals. In polluted organic-rich waters,adsorption of cadmium by humic substances and other organic complexing agents plays adominant role in transport, partitioning, and remobilization of cadmium. Cadmiumconcentration in water is inversely related to the pH and the concentration of organicmaterial in the water. Because cadmium exists only in the +2 oxidation state in water,aqueous cadmium is not strongly influenced by the oxidizing or reducing potential of thewater. However, under reducing conditions, cadmium may form cadmium sulfide, which ispoorly soluble and tends to precipitate. Free (ionic) cadmium seems to be the toxic formand becomes much more prevalent at low salinity . Cadmium has a relatively long residencetime in aquatic systems. In Lake Michigan, a mean residence time of 4-10 years wascalculated for cadmium compared to 22 years calculated for mercury.Precipitation and sorption to mineral surfaces, hydrous metal oxides, and organicmaterials are the most important processes for removal of cadmium to bed sediments. Humicacid is the major component of sediment responsible for adsorption. Sorption increases asthe pH increases.Sediment bacteria may also assist in the partitioning of cadmium from water to sediments.Both cadmium-sensitive and cadmium-resistant bacteria reduced the cadmium concentrationin the water column from 1 ppm to between 0.2 and 0.6 ppm, with a corresponding increasein cadmium concentration in the sediments in the simulated environment. Studies indicatethat concentrations of cadmium in sediments are at least one order of magnitude higherthan in the overlying water. The mode of sorption of cadmium to sediments is important indetermining its disposition to remobilize. Cadmium associated with carbonate minerals,precipitated as stable solid compounds or co-precipitated with hydrous iron oxides, isless likely to be mobilized by resuspension of sediments or biological activity. Cadmiumthat is adsorbed to mineral surfaces such as clay, or to organic materials, is moreeasily bioaccumulated or released in the dissolved state when the sediment is disturbed.Cadmium may redissolve from sediments under varying ambient conditions of pH,salinity,and redox potential. Cadmium is not known to form volatile compounds in the aquaticenvironment, so partitioning from water to the atmosphere does not occur.In soils, pH, oxidation-reduction reactions, and formation of complexes are importantfactors affecting the mobility of cadmium. Cadmium can participate in exchange reactionson the negatively charged surface of clay minerals. In acid soils, the reaction isreversible. However, adsorption increases with pH and may become irreversible. Cadmiumalso may precipitate as insoluble cadmium compounds, or form complexes or chelates byinteraction with organic matter. Available data suggest that organic matter is moreeffective than inorganic constituents in keeping cadmium unavailable. Examples of cadmiumcompounds found in soil are Cd3 (PO4)2, CdCO3, and Cd(OH)2. These compounds are formed asthe pH rises. It has been found that about 90% of cadmium in soils remains in the top 15cm.Aquatic and terrestrial organisms bioaccumulate cadmium. Cadmium concentrates infreshwater and marine animals to concentrations hundreds to thousands of times higherthan in the water. Reported bioconcentration factors (BCFs) range from 113 to 18,000 forinvertebrates, from 3 to 4,190 for fresh water aquatic organisms, and from 5 to 3,160 forsaltwater aquatic organisms . Bioconcentration in fish depends on the pH and the humuscontent of the water. Cadmium (not an estrogen mimic) has also been shown to causeincreased vitellogenesis in female Atlantic croaker (Micropogonias undulatus), but thisis thought to be caused by direct toxic action on the pituitary, leading to alteredsecretion of gonadotropin hormone.Because of their high ability to accumulate metals,some aquatic plants have been suggested for use in pollution control.

Once in an aquatic environment cadmium is highly mobile;its dissolved species are highly labile and are first to be released, for example, whensalinity is increased in estuaries. In fresh water, cadmium toxicity is influenced bywater hardness (the harder the water, the lower the toxicity). Cadmium can bioaccumulateand bioconcentrate in the food chain. Biomagnification in terrestrial food chains is notexpected.Cadmium is more mobile in aquatic environments than most other heavy metals (e.g., lead).In most natural surface waters, the affinities of complexing ligands for cadmiumgenerally follow the order of humic acids > CO3 2- > OH- > Cl- > SO4 2-. In unpollutednatural waters, most cadmium transported in the water column will exist in the dissolvedstate as the hydrated ion Cd(H2O)6 2+. Minor amounts of cadmium are transported with thecoarse particulates, and only a small fraction is transported with the colloids. Inunpolluted waters, cadmium can be removed from solution by exchange of cadmium forcalcium in the lattice structure of carbonate minerals. In polluted organic-rich waters,adsorption of cadmium by humic substances and other organic complexing agents plays adominant role in transport, partitioning, and remobilization of cadmium. Cadmiumconcentration in water is inversely related to the pH and the concentration of organicmaterial in the water. Because cadmium exists only in the +2 oxidation state in water,aqueous cadmium is not strongly influenced by the oxidizing or reducing potential of thewater. However, under reducing conditions, cadmium may form cadmium sulfide, which ispoorly soluble and tends to precipitate. Free (ionic) cadmium seems to be the toxic formand becomes much more prevalent at low salinity . Cadmium has a relatively long residencetime in aquatic systems. In Lake Michigan, a mean residence time of 4-10 years wascalculated for cadmium compared to 22 years calculated for mercury.Precipitation and sorption to mineral surfaces, hydrous metal oxides, and organicmaterials are the most important processes for removal of cadmium to bed sediments. Humicacid is the major component of sediment responsible for adsorption. Sorption increases asthe pH increases.Sediment bacteria may also assist in the partitioning of cadmium from water to sediments.Both cadmium-sensitive and cadmium-resistant bacteria reduced the cadmium concentrationin the water column from 1 ppm to between 0.2 and 0.6 ppm, with a corresponding increasein cadmium concentration in the sediments in the simulated environment. Studies indicatethat concentrations of cadmium in sediments are at least one order of magnitude higherthan in the overlying water. The mode of sorption of cadmium to sediments is important indetermining its disposition to remobilize. Cadmium associated with carbonate minerals,precipitated as stable solid compounds or co-precipitated with hydrous iron oxides, isless likely to be mobilized by resuspension of sediments or biological activity. Cadmiumthat is adsorbed to mineral surfaces such as clay, or to organic materials, is moreeasily bioaccumulated or released in the dissolved state when the sediment is disturbed.Cadmium may redissolve from sediments under varying ambient conditions of pH,salinity,and redox potential. Cadmium is not known to form volatile compounds in the aquaticenvironment, so partitioning from water to the atmosphere does not occur.In soils, pH, oxidation-reduction reactions, and formation of complexes are importantfactors affecting the mobility of cadmium. Cadmium can participate in exchange reactionson the negatively charged surface of clay minerals. In acid soils, the reaction isreversible. However, adsorption increases with pH and may become irreversible. Cadmiumalso may precipitate as insoluble cadmium compounds, or form complexes or chelates byinteraction with organic matter. Available data suggest that organic matter is moreeffective than inorganic constituents in keeping cadmium unavailable. Examples of cadmiumcompounds found in soil are Cd3 (PO4)2, CdCO3, and Cd(OH)2. These compounds are formed asthe pH rises. It has been found that about 90% of cadmium in soils remains in the top 15cm.Aquatic and terrestrial organisms bioaccumulate cadmium. Cadmium concentrates infreshwater and marine animals to concentrations hundreds to thousands of times higherthan in the water. Reported bioconcentration factors (BCFs) range from 113 to 18,000 forinvertebrates, from 3 to 4,190 for fresh water aquatic organisms, and from 5 to 3,160 forsaltwater aquatic organisms . Bioconcentration in fish depends on the pH and the humuscontinued...

Cadmium (not an estrogen mimic) has also been shown to causeincreased vitellogenesis in female Atlantic croaker (Micropogonias undulatus), but thisis thought to be caused by direct toxic action on the pituitary, leading to alteredsecretion of gonadotropin hormone.Because of their high ability to accumulate metals,some aquatic plants have been suggested for use in pollution control. For example, it hasbeen suggested that the rapidly-growing water hyacinth Eichhornia crussipes could be usedto remove cadmium from domestic and industrial effluents. The data indicate that cadmiumbioaccumulates in all levels of the food chain. Cadmium accumulation has been reported ingrasses and food crops, and in earthworms, poultry, cattle, horses, and wildlife. Themetal burden of a crop depends on uptake by the root system, direct foliar uptake andtranslocation within the plant, and surface deposition of particulate matter. In general,cadmium accumulates in the leaves of plants and, therefore, is more of a risk in leafyvegetables grown in contaminated soil than in seed or root crops.Since cadmium accumulates largely in the liver and kidneys of vertebrates and not in themuscle tissue and intestinal absorption of cadmium is low, biomagnification through thefood chain may not be significant. In a study of marine organisms from the Tyrrhenian Sea,no evidence of cadmium biomagnification was found along pelagic or benthic food webs.Although some data indicate increased cadmium concentrations in animals at the top of thefood chain, comparisons among animals at different trophic levels are difficult, and thedata available on biomagnification are not conclusive.Nevertheless, uptake of cadmiumfrom soil by feed crops may result in high levels of cadmium in beef and poultry(especially in the liver and kidneys).

Fine particulate matter has alonger residence time in the environment and is carried a long distance from its source;larger particles are deposited near the emission source. Atmospheric residence time fornickel particulates is estimated to be 5.4-7.9 days. Water solubility and bioavailabilityis affected by soil pH; decrease in pH generally mobilises nickel, thus acid rain canmobilise nickel from the soil and increase nickel concentrations in ground water.
