Precautionary statements
None required Emergency Overview: A lustrous silvery-white metal that does not burn in bulk but may form explosive mixtures if dispersed in air as a fine powder. Contact with acids or alkalis may generate flammable hydrogen gas. Do NOT use water or foam in fire fighting. Apply dry chemical, sand or special dry powder extinguishing media. Tin is relatively non-toxic and does not pose an immediate hazard to the health of emergency response personnel or to the environment in an emergency situation.
Potential health effects
Metallic tin is relatively non-toxic to humans. Chronic inhalation of tin or tin oxides may cause a benign pneumoconiosis called stannosis. This form of pneumoconiosis produces progressive x-ray changes of the lungs as long as exposure exists, but there is no evidence of disability and no special complicating factors. Tin is not listed as a carcinogen by OSHA, NTP, IARC, ACGIH or the EU (see Toxicological Information, Section 11).
Environmental effects
Since tin is not soluble, it will have minimal direct toxic effects. However, its processing or extended exposure in the environment may result in the formation of compounds that can potentially be toxic to aquatic and terrestrial organisms. Contamination of soil and water should therefore be avoided (see Ecological Information, Section 12).
