11 Toxicological information
Acute toxicity:
Primary irritant effect:
on the skin: Irritant to skin and mucous membranes.
on the eye: Irritating effect.
Sensitization: No sensitizing effects known.
Subacute to chronic toxicity:
Oxalates are powerful irritants and corrosive to tissue. They have
a caustic effect on the mouth, esophagus and stomach. Readily
absorbed, they can cause severe kidney damage.
Lanthanons can cause delayed blood clotting leading to hemorrhages.
Exposure may also lead to sensitivity to heat, itching, increased
awareness of odor and taste, and liver damage.
Additional toxicological information:
Danger through skin absorption.
To the best of our knowledge the acute and chronic toxicity of this
substance is not fully known.
No classification data on carcinogenic properties of this material
is available from the EPA, IARC, NTP, OSHA or ACGIH.
