Are Esters toxic

Esters are generally considered to be low in toxicity and are commonly used in food flavorings, fragrances, and pharmaceuticals. However, some esters can be harmful if ingested or inhaled in high concentrations, leading to respiratory irritation or other health issues. It is important to handle esters safely and be aware of specific compounds, as toxicity can vary widely among different esters. Always refer to safety data sheets for information on specific esters.
