General description
Calcium tungstate (CaWO4) is an optical material, which can be used as a laser host material for a variety of electronic applications. It has a scheelite structure with luminescence, and thermo-luminescence properties.
Application
CaWO4 can be used in the fabrication of a radio-sensitizer for cancer radiotherapy applications. It can also be used as a catalyst for the oxidation of organic substrates with hydrogen peroxide.

We have studied the subcellular distribution of ferritin in inflammatory macrophages present in regional lymph nodes from dogs subjected to a pulmonary inflammatory reaction. The inflammatory reaction was induced by intrabronchial instillation of calcium tungstate (CaWO4), a water-insoluble powder. Ferritin
