Cadmium chloride

Cadmium chloride is a chemical compound made of cadmium and chlorine atoms. It appears as a colorless or light-colored crystalline solid and is used mainly in laboratories and industrial processes, such as preserving specimens and in chemical manufacturing. While useful, cadmium chloride is toxic and can cause health problems if ingested, inhaled, or if it contacts skin. It poses environmental hazards as well. Proper handling, storage, and disposal are essential to prevent health risks, making it a substance that requires careful management by trained professionals.
