RTECS: Not available
Antimony compounds may cause metallic taste, gastrointestinal disturbances, vomiting, diarrhea,
dizziness, and systemic poisoning.
Chronic exposure may cause liver and kidney damage. Dermatitis and eczematous skin eruptions may
result from skin contact.
Cadmium compounds are highly toxic and experimental carcinogens. Exposure affects the respiratory
tract, kidneys, and liver.
Ingestion may cause nausea, salivation, vomiting, and diarrhea. Ingestion or inhalation of cadmium
compounds may be fatal.
To the best of our knowledge the toxicological effects of this compound have not been fully
investigated.
