Subacute to chronic toxicity:

Cobalt is an experimental neoplastigen and tumorigen. It is an experimental carcinogen of the

connective tissue and lungs. Cobalt metal and inorganic compounds are classified as an animal

carcinogen by the ACGIH. Ingestion may cause burning in the mouth, esophagus, and stomach.

Inhalation of dusts and fumes may cause irritation of the respiratory tract and labored breathing and

coughing. Sensitization, nausea, flushing of the face and ringing in the ears is also possible.

Chronic ingestion may result in pericardial effusion, polycardial effusion, polycythemia, cardiac failure,

vomiting, convulsions and thyroid enlargement.

Cyanides may cause symptoms of salivation, nausea without vomiting, anxiety, confusion, vertigo,

giddiness, lower jaw stiffness, convulsions, opisthotonos, paralysis, coma, cardiac arrhythmias and

respiratory failure. They typically cause death through asphyxia. Skin contact may cause itching,macular, papular and vesicular eruptions.

Subacute to chronic toxicity: No effects known.

Additional toxicological information:

To the best of our knowledge the acute and chronic toxicity of this substance is not fully known.
