Safety & Toxicological Analysis
Epsom salts (magnesium sulfate) are utilized in low concentrations for rheological control in ceramic formulations. While generally considered non-hazardous, inhalation or direct eye contact may result in irritation. Ingestion can lead to gastrointestinal distress, including nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, and diarrhea. Thermal decomposition at elevated temperatures may produce sulfur dioxide and sulfur trioxide gases, which are respiratory irritants.
