Prolonged inhalation of gas concentrations moderately above the
ACGIH: TLV ceiling of 2 ppm can irritate nasal passages. Inhalation
of higher concentrations (above 2 ppm) for short periods of time
can cause choking and coughing, and produce severe irritation to
the mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract. The NIOSH-
recommended IDLH level is 50 ppm. HCl can cause severe irritation
and tissue burns. If deeply inhaled, pulmonary edema may occur.
The emitted tin compound is also an irritant to eyes, skin, and
mucous membranes, due to its acidity.
