In one inhalation study, exposure to zirconium tetrachloride
(converted to zirconyl chloride in water) at a concentration of 6 mg
Zr/m3 for 2 months was associated with a small increase in mortality
of rats & guinea pigs and no increased mortality for rabbits, cats,
or dogs. Respiratory infection subsequent to the inhaled zirconyl
chloride mist was the reported cause of death. In 1-year inhalation
studies with zirconium tetrachloride at 3.5 mg Zr/m3, no adverse
effects on lab animals could be
