27 wrz 2016 · While understanding the toxicity of a substance alone is crucial, one of the challenges of tungsten toxicology is that tungsten is often found in combination with other metals. In this review, we will discuss human exposures and update the current toxicity profile of tungsten.
The existing data on health effects of inhalation, oral, and dermal exposure of humans and animals to tungsten and tungsten compounds are summarized in Figure 3-6. The purpose of this figure is to illustrate the existing information concerning the health effects of tungsten and tungsten compounds.
In this chapter, the current state of the tungsten toxicology field will be discussed focusing on data investigating tungsten carcinogenicity and other major toxicities including pulmonary, cardiometabolic, bone, and immune endpoints, either alone or in combination with other metals.

When you eat, drink, breathe, or touch things containing tungsten compounds that can easily be dissolved in water, tungsten enters your blood and is carried to all parts of your body. Most of the tungsten that enters your blood is rapidly released from your body in the urine.
Tungsten and its alloys are used in products such as light bulb filaments, x-ray tubes, phonographic needles, welding electrodes, gyroscope wheels, counterbalance and fishing weights, darts, and golf clubs. Tungsten is also used in armor-piercing munitions.
1 wrz 2007 · Tungsten and tungsten compounds are considered toxicologically relatively safe. Concern regarding the potential health and environmental effects of depleted uranium and lead in military applications has lead many countries to explore the possibility of applying toxicologically safer metals.
