Specific target organ system toxicity - repeated exposure:
No effects known.
Specific target organ system toxicity - single exposure:
May cause respiratory irritation.
Aspiration hazard:
No effects known.
Subacute to chronic toxicity:
Cerium salts increase the blood coagulation rate. Exposure to cerium salts may increase sensitivity to heat, itching and skin lesions. Large doses to experimental animals have caused writhing, ataxia, labored respiration, sedation, hypotension and death by cardiovascular collapse.
Vanadium compounds act chiefly as an irritant to the eyes and respiratory tract. Exposure may cause conjunctivitis, rhinitis and reversible irritation of the respiratory tract. More severe cases may cause bronchitis, bronchospasms and asthma like disease. May cause polycythemia, red blood cell destruction and anemia, albuminuria and hematuria, gastrointestinal disorders, nervous complaints and severe cough.
Additional toxicological information:
To the best of our knowledge the acute and chronic toxicity of this substance is not fully known.
