Is thiourea toxic?

Yes, thiourea can be toxic. It is a compound commonly used in various industrial processes, including photography, textiles, and metal finishing. Thiourea can cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system upon contact or inhalation. Additionally, ingestion of large amounts of thiourea can lead to more severe health effects, including nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and in extreme cases, liver and kidney damage.

Due to its potential toxicity, proper precautions should be taken when handling thiourea, such as wearing appropriate protective equipment and ensuring adequate ventilation in workspaces where it is used. Additionally, it's essential to follow safety guidelines and regulations provided by relevant authorities when working with thiourea-containing materials.
