Oxalates are not used in embalming fluid primarily due to their toxicity and potential to form insoluble salts with calcium, which can interfere with the preservation process. Additionally, oxalates can cause skin and respiratory irritation, making them unsafe for embalmers to handle. The primary chemicals used in embalming fluids, such as formaldehyde, are more effective for tissue preservation and less hazardous compared to oxalates.
