Subacute to chronic toxicity:
Yttrium is similar to the lanthanons and may have an anticoagulant effect on blood. Exposure to
lanthanons may also lead to sensitivity to heat, itching, increased awareness of odor and taste, and
liver damage.
Oxalates are powerful irritants and corrosive to tissue. They have a caustic effect on the mouth,
esophagus and stomach. Readily absorbed, they can cause severe kidney damage.
Subacute to chronic toxicity:
No effects known.
