11 - Toxicological Information
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE
Inorganic tin salts are poorly absorbed into the body. When
parenterally administered tin salts are highly toxic. Tin oxide
inhaled as a dust or fume leads to a benign pneumoconiosis with
no sign of interference with pulmonary function. Deposited dust
appears nodular with the particles being mostly extracelluar. No
necrosis, foreign-body giant-cell reaction, or collagen
formation has been seen. Tin salts that have gained access to
the blood stream are highly toxic and produce neurologic damage
and paralysis. With most common tin salts, the toxicity profile
is complicated by hydrolysis in body fluids producing
unphysiologic pH values. The reported symptoms of hyperemia,
vascular changes with bleeding in the central nervous system,
liver, heart, and other organs may be due to tin itself or to
the unphysiological pH changes. Ingestion produces vomiting due
to the gastric irritation from the activity and astringency of
tin compounds. Injection of inorganic tin salts produces
diarrhea, muscle paralysis, and twitching. Material is extremely
destructive to tissue of the mucous membranes and upper
respiratory tract, eyes, and skin. Inhalation may result in
spasm, inflammation and edema of the larynxand bronchi, chemical
pneumonitis, and pulmonary edema. Symptoms of exposure may
include burning sensation, coughing, wheezing, laryngitis,
shortness of breath, headache, nausea, and vomiting. To the best
of our knowledge, the chemical, physical, and toxicological
properties have not been
ROUTE OF EXPOSURE
Multiple Routes: Harmful if swallowed, inhaled, or absorbed
through skin.

13 - Disposal Considerations
SUBSTANCE DISPOSAL
The material should be dissolved in: 1) water, 2) acid solution,
or 3) oxidized to a water-soluble state. Precipitate the material
as the sulfide, adjusting the pH of the solution to 7 to complete
precipitation. Filter the insolubles and dispose of them in a
hazardous waste site. Destroy any excess sulfide with sodium
hypochlorite. Neutralize the solution before flushing down the
drain. Observe all federal, state, and local environmental
regulations.

In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of
water and seek medical advice. Take off immediately all
contaminated clothing. After contact with skin, wash
immediately with plenty of water. Wear suitable protective
clothing, gloves, and eye/face protection. In case of accident
or if you feel unwell, seek medical advice immediately (show
the label where possible).
