I have not seen any evidence showing tungsten disulfide is toxic for either people or the environment in general

- kragen 4y agoIts toxicity isn't well characterized, and isn't especially high, but you can generally assume that metal sulfides with access to water produce either hydrogen sulfide, sulfuric acid, or both. In the case of tungsten disulfide it seems to be sulfuric acid, though the reaction is poorly characterized. Sulfate as such is pretty nontoxic (though it does cause diarrhea) but it doesn't take very much sulfuric acid to lower the pH to fatal levels.
