Toxicological study of europium oxide

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5217165
The acute oral LD/sub 50/ values for europium oxide for mice and rats are greater than 5 g/kg. According to classical guidelines, the material would be considered only slightly toxic or practically nontoxic in both species. The sensitization study in the guinea pig did not show europium oxide to have potential sensitizing properties. Skin application studies on the rabbit demonstrated that it was cutaneously nonirritating. This material was also nonirritating in the rabbit eye application studies. 4 refs., 1 tab.
