Notes

General Precautions:

  • Avoid contact with skin and eyes: Tellurium powder can cause irritation.
  • Do not breathe dust: Inhaling tellurium dust can cause irritation and congestion of the respiratory tract.
  • Wash thoroughly after handling: Remove any powder from skin and clothing.
  • Do not eat, drink, or smoke while handling: Avoid contamination of food or drink.
  • Keep away from food, drink, and animal feeding stuffs: Prevent accidental ingestion.
