Harmful if swallowed. 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. Tin salts that have gained access to the blood stream are highly toxic and produce neurologic damage and paralysis.
