Huh??? "Inorganic fluorides can be harmful" Stannous Fluoride Chemical listed as carcinogen or potential carcinogen.
Health Hazards Chronic: Abdominal pain & vomiting Signs and Symptoms of Overexposure: Possible staining of decalcified areas of the teeth. http://physchem.ox.ac.uk/MSDS/T/tin_II_fluoride.html : Toxicology Toxic by inhalation, ingestion and in contact with skin. Corrosive - causes burns. Typical PEL 2 mg/m3. Toxicity data (The meaning of any abbreviations which appear in this section is given here.) ORL-MUS LD50 184 mg kg-1 ORL-RAT LD50 360 mg kg-1 Risk phrases (The meaning of any risk phrases which appear in this section is given here.) R23 R24 R25 R34. R23 Toxic by inhalation. R24 Toxic in contact with skin. R25 Toxic if swallowed. R34 Causes burns. Thus for a mouse the amount to kill 50% of the mice is 184 mg/kg. For a 150 pound person that would translate to about 12.5 grams, or about 1/3 of an ounce. That is pretty toxic in my book. http://gandalf.pp.orst.edu/msds/DATA%5C2900.htm SECTION V - Health Hazard Data ================================================================================ THRESHOLD LIMIT VALUE (TLV/TWA): 2 MG/M3 (AS TIN) TOXICITY: ESTIMATED LD-MAN: 2.5 G (AS FLUORIDE) EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE HIGHLY IRRITATING BY SKIN CONTACT. TOXIC BY INHALATION AND INGESTION CAUSING WEIGHT LOSS, ANOREXIA, ANEMIA, WASTING AND CACHEXIA, DENTAL DEFECTS, SKIN RASHES, GASTRIC, INTESTINAL, CIRCULATORY, RESPIRATORY AND NERVOUS COMPLAINT EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES GET MEDICAL ASSISTANCE FOR ALL CASES OF OVEREXPOSURE SKIN: WASH WITH SOAP AND WATER THOROUGHLY EYES: FLUSH THOROUGHLY WITH WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR; GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION IF NOT BREATHING INGESTION: GET MEDICAL ASSISTANCE http://hazard.com/msds/mf/old/fish/dev/fa14/522 Potential Health Effects Eye: May cause eye irritation. Skin: May cause skin irritation. Ingestion: Harmful if swallowed. May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Ingestion of large amounts of fluoride may include salivation, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, fever, labored breathing. Inorganic fluorides can be harmful. Acute exposure to fluorine compounds can lead to digestive tract burns, and abdominal pain. Inhalation: May cause respiratory tract irritation. Exposure to the mist and vapor may erode exposed teeth. Chronic: Repeated exposure may cause erosion of teeth. Chronic exposure to fluoride compounds may cause systemic toxicity.
