Tin

Tin (Sn) is a metal commonly found in alloys, food packaging, and electronics, and is generally considered to have low toxicity. However, certain organic tin compounds used in industrial processes can present health risks, including skin and eye irritation, digestive problems, and in severe cases, neurological effects. People handling tin in manufacturing or using tin-containing products should be aware of these potential hazards. Minimising exposure to organic tin compounds and adhering to safety guidelines are important for preventing tin-related toxicity.
