Excessive ingestion or inhalation of tin may cause adverse symptoms such as dizziness, diarrhea, nausea, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and dry mouth, and may also lead to decreased serum calcium levels; in severe cases, it can even trigger gastroenteritis. In industrial settings, tin poisoning may damage the nervous system, liver function, and skin and mucous membranes.
