- Toxicity Summary: ... Nickel carbonate is insoluble in water. ... Respiratory absorption with secondary gastrointestinal absorption of nickel (insoluble compounds) is the major route of entry during occupational exposure. Percutaneous absorption is negligible, quanitatively, but is important in the pathogenesis of contact hypersensitivity. Absorption is related to the solubility of the compound /and nickel carbonate is classified as an insoluble salt/. Nickel carbonate ... induced local mesenchymal tumors in a variety of experimental animals after im, sc, ip, intrapleural, intraocular, intraosseous, intrarenal, intra-articular, intratesticular or intra-adipose administration.
