NCIt definition : A whitish, crystalline, inorganic compound that forms toxic fumes of cadmium oxides
when heated. Calcium sulfate is used in electroplating, vacuum tubes, fluorescent
screens, analytical chemistry, as a fungicide and as a chemical intermediate to produce
cadmium containing pigments and stabilizers. Exposure to this substance irritates
the eyes, skin and respiratory tract and causes damage to the lungs resulting in shortness
