Product Name: Cadmium Bromate
Synonyms: Cadmium(II) bromate
Chemical Formula: Cd(BrO3)2
CAS Number: 13464-92-1
Recommended Use: Laboratory reagent, research purposes
Manufacturer Information: Contact industrial chemical supplier or research distributor
Emergency Contact: Poison control center, local emergency services
Hazard Class: Oxidizing solid, Acute toxicity, Carcinogenicity, Environmental hazard
Label Elements: Danger pictograms for toxicity, oxidizer, environmental impact
Main Hazards: Highly toxic through inhalation, ingestion, and skin absorption. Damages kidneys, targets lungs, may cause cancer. Strong oxidizer can intensify fire if mixed with flammable material. Toxic for aquatic life with long-lasting effects.
Precautionary Statements: Avoid all contact with skin and eyes. Do not breathe dust. Keep separate from combustible substances. Use protective gear. Prevent environmental release.
Chemical Name: Cadmium Bromate
Purity: Usually above 98%
Impurities: Trace cadmium salts, bromate by-products
Molecular Weight: 408.23 g/mol
Components: Cadmium as Cd2+ ion, Bromate as BrO3− anion
Inhalation: Move to fresh air. Provide artificial respiration if breathing stops. Seek immediate medical attention.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash area thoroughly with soap and water. Get medical aid.
Eye Contact: Rinse eyes carefully with plenty of water for 15 minutes, lifting eyelids. Get medical attention.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Rinse mouth with water. Get immediate medical help.
Relevant Symptom Notes: Can produce nausea, headache, vomiting, kidney pain, breathing difficulty, shock on significant exposure.
Medical Attention: Doctors should monitor for kidney and lung damage. Keep patient under observation.
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use large amounts of water. Do not use dry chemical or foam as cadmium bromate is an oxidizer.
Fire Hazards: Decomposes to release toxic and irritant fumes including cadmium oxides and bromine compounds. May accelerate combustion of other materials.
Protective Equipment: Full protective suit, self-contained breathing apparatus
Special Instructions: Remove non-involved personnel. Dike fire control water for disposal. Prevent water from entering the environment.
Personal Protection: Wear chemical-resistant gloves, goggles, lab coat, and approved respirator. Ensure proper training before entry.
Spill Cleanup: Isolate spill area. Avoid dust generation. Shovel up and collect in a clearly labeled, air-tight, corrosion-resistant container. Clean residue thoroughly with water.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent from entering soil, drains, or surface waters. Inform environmental authorities if significant spill occurs.
Disposal: Dispose of clean-up material as hazardous waste. Decontaminate area.
Handling: Use only in a chemical fume hood or well-ventilated area. Avoid all contact and inhalation. Only trained personnel should handle. Do not allow material to get wet or come into contact with combustible materials.
Storage Conditions: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area in tightly closed containers. Keep separated from acids, combustibles, and reducing agents. Dedicated cabinet for oxidizers recommended. Lock up and restrict access.
Hygiene Requirements: Wash hands and exposed skin after handling. No eating, drinking, or smoking in work area.
Occupational Exposure Limits: Cadmium compounds have permissible exposure limits (OSHA PEL: 0.005 mg/m3 as Cd dust or fume); consult local regulations.
Engineering Controls: Use chemical fume hood, exhaust ventilation, closed systems if possible.
Personal Protective Equipment: Chemical splash goggles, face shield, rubber gloves, long sleeves, NIOSH-approved respiratory protection if dust or aerosols are generated.
Monitoring Requirements: Regular air monitoring for cadmium dust. Routine health checks for involved personnel.
Additional Protection: Emergency eyewash and shower stations nearby.

Chemical Stability: Slowly decomposes at room temperature, faster with heat or moisture
Reactivity: Reacts strongly with reducing agents, organics, acids, and metals. Dangerous with combustible materials.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Cadmium fumes, bromine, oxygen; toxic and corrosive
Incompatible Materials: Strong acids, bases, organic substances, powdered metals
Hazardous Polymerization: Does not polymerize
Acute Toxicity: Causes severe irritation to respiratory tract, skin, and eyes. Highly toxic by ingestion; triggers vomiting, abdominal pain, kidney, and liver damage.
Chronic Effects: Cadmium is a well-documented human carcinogen. Prolonged exposure severely damages lungs, kidneys, and bones. May cause irreversible effects.
Routes of Exposure: Inhalation, ingestion, dermal contact
Symptoms: Headache, cough, shortness of breath, abdominal pain, proteinuria, loss of sense of smell
Delayed Effects: Cancer, kidney dysfunction, osteoporosis with repeated exposure
Ecotoxicity: Extremely toxic to aquatic life. Persistent and bioaccumulative in water, sediment, and organisms. May cause delay or failure in natural water recovery.
Mobility: Mobile in the environment, may disperse in water and contaminate soil, groundwater.
Persistence and Degradability: Does not biodegrade. Stays in the environment for many years.
Bioaccumulation: Easily accumulates in fish, aquatic organisms, and plants. May enter the food chain.
Other Adverse Effects: Long-lasting damage even at low concentrations.
Waste Handling: Dispose of as hazardous waste according to local, regional, and national regulations.
Recommended Methods: Do not release to sewer, streams, or open environment. Deliver to licensed hazardous waste facility.
Container Disposal: Use appropriate, tightly sealed containers clearly labeled for hazardous cadmium waste.
Precautions: Chemical must not be mixed with regular trash or allowed to accumulate.
