Usage

General Description

Cadmium sulfide is a bright yellow solid compound that is a naturally occurring mineral called greenockite. It is commonly used as a pigment in yellow paints, plastics, and ceramics. Cadmium sulfide is also used in the production of solar cells and as a semiconductor material in electronics. However, cadmium sulfide is toxic and can pose health risks if inhaled or ingested. It is classified as a carcinogen and can cause lung and prostate cancer with prolonged exposure. It is important to handle and dispose of cadmium sulfide properly to prevent environmental contamination and health hazards.
