Tungsten is a heavy metal and requires certain safety precautions when handling. It is considered an irritant to the eyes, skin, and lungs. Though it is considered less dangerous than other heavy metals, it could pose a great health hazard when interacting with other compounds. Tungsten toxicity in humans is rare, and the effects of long-term exposure to tungsten or tungsten compounds has only recently begun to be studied.
