What are the Risks Associated with Inhalation of Catalysts?
Many catalysts, especially those in powdered form, can pose significant health risks if inhaled. These risks include respiratory issues, allergic reactions, and long-term health effects such as lung damage or cancer. For instance, inhalation of silica-based catalysts can lead to silicosis, a chronic lung disease. Therefore, understanding the toxicity of the catalyst materials is essential.
