Tungsten oxide (WO3) is an inorganic compound whose toxicity depends on its form, particle size, concentration, and mode and duration of exposure. Overall, tungsten oxide is considered relatively safe under routine use and exposure conditions, but long-term or high-concentration exposure may have adverse health effects. The following are some general properties regarding the toxicity of tungsten oxide:
Inhalation Risk Of Tungsten Oxide
Fine tungsten oxide particles may reach the airways and lungs during inhalation. High concentrations of tungsten oxide dust may cause respiratory irritation and inflammation, leading to respiratory problems such as coughing, wheezing and difficulty breathing.
Skin Contact With Tungsten Oxide
Direct contact with tungsten oxide usually does not cause skin irritation or allergic reactions. However, prolonged or frequent skin contact may cause dryness, cracking and skin irritation.
Tungsten Oxide For Eye Contact
Tungsten oxide dust or solution entering the eyes may cause irritation, pain and eye discomfort. In case of eye contact, immediately flush eyes with water and seek medical help.
Ingestion Risks Of Tungsten Oxide
In general, tungsten oxide is not absorbed by the body through the oral route. However, ingesting larger amounts of tungsten oxide may cause gastrointestinal distress such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
It should be noted that for the safe operation and use of any chemical substances, correct safety operating procedures should be followed. This includes using personal protective equipment such as safety glasses, gloves, and a mask, and operating in a well-ventilated environment. In case of any concerns or exposures, please consult a professional health and safety authority for accurate advice and guidance.
