03 · Safety and handling

Distinguish powder from compact metal.

Compact iridium is comparatively unreactive. Metal powder can pose different hazards from solid pieces, so inhaling dust and uncontrolled release of particles must be avoided. Protective measures according to the safety data sheet are required during processing. Iridium compounds must be assessed individually for toxicity.
