RTECS:
Not available
To the best of our knowledge, the chemical, physical, and toxicological properties have not been
thoroughly investigated.
Zinc oxide dust or fume can irritate the respiratory tract. Prolonged skin contact can produce a severe
dermatitis called oxide pox. Exposure to high levels of dust or fume can cause metallic taste, marked
thirst, coughing, fatigue, weakness, muscular pain, and nausea followed by fever and chills. Severe
overexposure may result in bronchitis or pneumonia with a bluish tint to the skin., prolonged or
repeated exposure can cause:, Reversible liver enzyme abnormalities., Diarrhoea (Zinc oxide)
