  2. Nickel (II) carbonate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nickel(II)_carbonate

    The oxide obtained from the basic carbonate is often most useful for catalysis. Basic nickel carbonate can be made by treating solutions of nickel sulfate with sodium carbonate: 4 Ni 2+ + CO 2− 3 + 6 OH − + 4 H 2 O → Ni 4 CO 3 (OH) 6 (H 2 O) 4. The hydrated carbonate has been prepared by electrolytic oxidation of nickel in the presence of ...

    Parts-per-million cube of relative abundance by mass of elements in an average adult human body down to 1 ppm. About 99% of the mass of the human body is made up of six elements: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus. Only about 0.85% is composed of another five elements: potassium, sulfur, sodium, chlorine, and magnesium ...

    Animals may be used as food either directly or indirectly. This includes meat, eggs, shellfish and dairy products like milk and cheese. [16] They are an important source of protein and are considered complete proteins for human consumption, as (unlike plant proteins) they contain all the amino acids essential for the human body.

    Metals have been used in treatments since ancient times. The Ebers Papyrus from 1500BC is the first written account of the use of metals for treatment and describes the use of Copper to reduce inflammation and the use of iron to treat anemia. Sodium vanadate has been used since the early 20th century to treat rheumatoid arthritis.

  7. Metal toxicity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_toxicity

    Toxic metals can bioaccumulate in the body and in the food chain. [5] Therefore, a common characteristic of toxic metals is the chronic nature of their toxicity. This is particularly notable with radioactive heavy metals such as radium , which imitates calcium to the point of being incorporated into human bone, although similar health ...
