SECTION 11: Toxicological information

○ Inhalation: Toxic by inhalation. Inhalation of dust may cause shortness of breath,

tightness of the chest, a sore throat and cough. Dust and fumes from
vanadium compounds can irritate the respiratory system; symptoms
may include nose bleeding, sore throat, cough, bronchitis,
expectoration, chest pain; serious exposure may cause pneumonia
and pulmonary oedema. The symptoms of pulmonary oedema often
do not become manifest until several hours have passed and they are
aggravated by physical effort. Rest and medical observation is
therefore essential. Vanadium compounds may cause green
discoloration of the tongue. May cause damage to organs through
prolonged or repeated exposure if inhaled.
○ Eye contact: Causes serious eye damage.
○ Skin contact: May cause skin irritation.
