                                          The product has been reported as being a mild skin and eye irritant and is 
                                          expected to irritate the respiratory tract if inhaled as a dust. There is no 
                                          evidence that palladium compounds present an allergy problem, similar to 
                                          that observed with platinum halogeno complexes. 聽
