If the yttrium is powdered, it will react quickly with oxygen in the air, so yes, it is flammable. Larger pieces, however, will develop a protective film of yttrium(III) oxide (Y2O3), which prevents any further reaction.

∙ 14y agoYttrium can cause lung disease in exposed humans. The OSHA and ACGIH limits are based on the risk of pulmonary effects associated with exposure to yttrium and its compounds.
These limits are:
- The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) permissible exposure limit (PEL) for yttrium is 1 milligram per cubic meter (mg/m(3)) of air as an 8-hour time-weighted average (TWA) concentration.
- The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) has assigned yttrium and its compounds a threshold limit value (TLV) of 1 mg/m(3) (measured as yttrium) as a TWA for a normal 8-hour workday and a 40-hour workweek
