 Lanthanons can cause delayed blood clotting leading to hemorrhages. Exposure may also lead to sensitivity heat, itching, increased
 awareness of odor and taste, and liver damage.
 Inorganic bromides may produce depression, emaciation, and in severe cases, psychosis and mental deterioration. Bromoderma, a
 bromide rash, often occurs when bromide inhalation or administration is prolonged. This rash is usually found on the face and
 resembles acne and furunculosis.

 To the best of our knowledge the toxicological effects of this compound have not been fully investigated.
