Is Tungsten Oxide Toxic?

Tungsten oxide (WO3) is generally considered to be a relatively safe compound. However, high concentrations or prolonged exposure to tungsten oxide may pose certain health risks.

Tungsten Oxide Inhalation Risk

Fine tungsten oxide particles may form dust in the air. Prolonged exposure to high concentrations of tungsten oxide dust, such as in industrial settings, may cause irritation and damage to the respiratory system. It can cause symptoms such as coughing, difficulty breathing, and inflammation of the lungs.

Risk of skin contact with tungsten oxide

Direct contact with tungsten oxide dust or solution may cause skin irritation and allergic reactions. Prolonged exposure may cause skin inflammation.

Tungsten Oxide Gastrointestinal Risks

Ingestion of high concentrations of tungsten oxide particles or solutions may cause irritation to the digestive tract. This happens mainly in cases of accidental swallowing or ingestion.

It is important to note that the risk of personal exposure to tungsten oxide is related to the dose and duration of exposure. In general, the risk under normal use and handling of tungsten oxide products is low. However, in industrial settings or where tungsten oxide is handled in large quantities, proper precautions such as wearing respirators, protective gloves and appropriate work clothing are required to reduce potential risks. If you have further concerns or need to learn more about the safety information in a specific situation, please consult China Tungsten Intelligent Manufacturing Technology Co., Ltd. for more safety information.
