I believe that toxicity would only be achieved if it were turned into a microfine powder and divided among humans to inhale, eventually killing all by lung cancer.

In solution or as a coarse powder, its toxicity to man is about the same as caffeine.

This is a fine opportunity to raise the subject of the late Harry K. Daghlian, Jr., who worked on the Manhattan Project and who accidentally irradiated himself in late August 1945, while conducting an experiment at Los Alamos.

What happened was a criticality accident that occurred when he accidentally dropped a small tungsten carbide brick onto a 14 lb plutonium bomb core. The particular core, intended for use as the THIRD atomic bomb had Japan not surrendered was called the "Demon core", which claimed the life of fellow scientist Louis Slotin in a similar accident.

The so-called Demon core was ultimately used during the Crossroads series of atomic tests in the Pacific, specifically the 'ABLE' test.

Those little Norks haven't got a clue of what they are truly tampering with. In a perfect world they would blow themselves up, along with the Dear Leader.

"One lump of Plutonium.The most toxic substance in the universe."

At least according to the anti-nuke left. Of course, anyone who knows any amount of real science knows that that is malarkey.
