Preferred Label : Cadmium Sulfide;
NCIt definition : A yellow to orange colored, crystalline, inorganic compound that forms toxic fumes
of cadmium oxides when heated. Cadmium sulfide is used as pigment in paints, plastics,
textiles, ceramic and glass and is also used in solar cells, smoke and radiation detectors,
light-emitting diodes and photomultipliers. Exposure to this substance irritates the
eyes, skin and respiratory tract and causes damage to the lungs resulting in shortness

proteinuria and decreased renal function. Calcium sulfide is a known carcinogen and
is associated with an elevated risk of developing lung cancer. (NCI05);
