    Cobalt is an experimental neoplastigen and tumorigen.  It is an
    experimental carcinogen of the connective tissue and lungs.  Cobalt
    metal and inorganic compounds are classified as an animal carcinogen by the
    ACGIH.  Ingestion may cause burning in the mouth, esophagus, and
    stomach.  Inhalation of dusts and fumes may cause irritation of the
    respiratory tract and labored breathing and coughing.  Sensitization,
    nausea, flushing of the face and ringing in the ears is also possible.
    Chronic ingestion may result in pericardial effusion, polycardial effusion,
    polycythemia, cardiac failure, vomiting, convulsions and thyroid
