Subacute to chronic toxicity:

Inorganic bromides may produce depression, emaciation and in severe cases, psychosis and mental

deterioration. Bromoderma, a bromide rash, often occurs when bromide inhalation or administration is

prolonged. This rash is usually found on the face and resembles acne and furunculosis.

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.

Subacute to chronic toxicity:

No effects known.
