Is titanium harmful to the human body?

No matter what kind of substance it is, it is harmful to the human body. There is no absolutely harmless substance. As long as it exceeds the amount that our human body can bear, it will cause some harm, especially titanium. This substance is particularly easy to be inhaled or eaten by our body. After eating it, it is still very harmful to our respiratory system. We may even feel severe coughing or severe chest pain.

There is nothing in the world that can harm the body, but when processing, the degree of harm must be minimized. The following is the chemical properties of titanium and related knowledge for your reference: Chinese name Metal titanium English name titanium Alias ​​titanium powder; sponge titanium powder Molecular formula Ti Appearance and properties Titanium is silvery white, the powder is dark gray or black and shiny, or hard steel-colored cubic crystal Molecular weight 47.90 Boiling point 3530℃ Melting point 1720℃ Solubility Insoluble in water, soluble in hydrofluoric acid, nitric acid, concentrated sulfuric acid Density Relative density (water = 1) 4.5 Stability Stable Hazard mark 8 (flammable solid) Main use Used in alloy manufacturing, etc.

1. Health Hazards: Routes of entry: inhalation and ingestion. Health hazards: Irritating to the upper respiratory tract after inhalation, causing coughing, chest tightness or pain.

II. Toxicological information and environmental behavior Hazard characteristics: Titanium metal dust is explosive and will burn and explode when exposed to heat, open flame or chemical reaction. Its powder is highly chemically active and can spontaneously combust in the air. Metal titanium can burn not only in air, but also in carbon dioxide or nitrogen. It easily combines with halogens, oxygen, sulfur and nitrogen at high temperatures.

3. First aid measures Skin contact: Take off contaminated clothes and rinse skin thoroughly with soap and water. Eye contact: Lift the eyelids and rinse with running water or saline. Seek medical attention. Inhalation: Move quickly away from the scene to fresh air. Keep the airways open. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If breathing stops, perform artificial respiration immediately. Seek medical attention. Ingestion: Drink plenty of warm water, induce vomiting, and seek medical attention.

Titanium alloy is a memory metal, which is one of the reasons why it was first used as a tooth. More importantly, it has no effect on human secretions, is adaptable to any sterilization method, and is non-toxic to the human body.

In fact, this substance itself is not toxic, especially after processing, the toxicity of this substance will be reduced to a minimum. However, many people have suffered emergency situations due to accidental ingestion. In this case, first aid should be given in time, otherwise it will be life-threatening and artificial respiration must be performed immediately.
