Cadmium chloride is colorless and odorless crystal. It is used for the preparation of cadmium sulfide, used as “Cadmium Yellow,” a brilliant-yellow pigment, which is stable to heat and sulfide fumes. Cadmium chloride has a high solubility in water, non-combustible solid, but the dust can be a moderate fire hazard when exposed to heat or flame, or when reacted with oxidizing agents. It is incompatible with bromine trifluoride, potassium oxi-dizers, zinc, selenium, tellurium, and hydrogen azide.

One of the most toxic heavy metals, Cd has been considered as a Group 2 A carcinogen (Group 2 A classification consists of evaluation based on limited evidence of carcinogenicity in humans and sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity in animals) by International Agency for Research on Cancer at 1993 (International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) 1993). Cd is accumulated mainly in kidney and its toxicity cause serious damage on organs such as lung and liver. Moreover, Cd accumulation may lead kidney damage or renal failure and even infertility (Ali et al.2019; Zhang et al.2019). And although causes serious environmental problems, Cd compounds are widely used in electroplating industry, dying of fabrics and photography. For example, cadmium oxide, cadmium sulfide (known as cadmium yellow), and Cd-copper and Cd-Ni alloys are used in semiconductors, tires as curing agent, dyes and pigments, electronics such as light emitting diodes and photocells and automobile radiators and rechargeable batteries (Galushkin et al.2015; Hocaoglu-Ozyigit and Genc 2020). Cd, as one of the most toxic water contaminants, naturally occurs in ores as an accompanying metal for elements like Cu, Pb, and Zn leaches out from earth crust to the surface via mining and smelting (Oros 2013). Cd compounds have high water solubility (up to 156 g/100 mL) (NICNAS 2020) and high soil mobility (Velickov et al.2013; Mashal et al.2015; Dogan et al.2016).

In this article, we specifically report on three yellow pigmented linseed oil and watercolor paint formulations, namely, lead chrome sulfate (chrome yellow), arsenic sulfide (orpiment), and cadmium sulfide (cadmium yellow). The oil paint and watercolor samples were prepared according to recipes reported in original treaties and accounts (Masschelein-Kleiner 1995) and are outlined in Section 2.2. These samples were exposed to accelerated aging regimes following a 9-month drying period.
