Tantalum electrolytic capacitors exploit the tendency of tantalum to form a protective oxide surface layer, using tantalum powder, pressed into a pellet shape, as one "plate" of the capacitor, the oxide as the dielectric, and an electrolytic solution or conductive solid as the other "plate".
Metal toxicity or metal poisoning is the toxic effect of certain metals in certain forms and doses on life.Some metals are toxic when they form poisonous soluble compounds. . Certain metals have no biological role, i.e. are not essential minerals, or are toxic when in a certain for
A typical human contains 21 parts per billion of niobium. Niobium is in the minerals columbite and pyrochlore. [19] There are 2 parts per million of tantalum in the Earth's crust, making it the 51st most abundant element there. Soil contains on average 1 to 2 parts per billion of tantalum, and seawater contains 2 parts per trillion of tantalum.
Natural tantalum (73 Ta) consists of two stable isotopes: 181 Ta (99.988%) and 180m Ta (0.012%).. There are also 35 known artificial radioisotopes, the longest-lived of which are 179 Ta with a half-life of 1.82 years, 182 Ta with a half-life of 114.43 days, 183 Ta with a half-life of 5.1 days, and 177 Ta with a half-life of 56.56 hours.

Two sets of pictograms are included within the GHS: one for the labelling of containers and for workplace hazard warnings, and a second for use during the transport of dangerous goods. Either one or the other is chosen, depending on the target audience, but the two are not used together for the same hazard. [ 1 ]
Broadly, long-term exposure to toxic heavy metals can have carcinogenic, central and peripheral nervous system, and circulatory effects. For humans, typical presentations associated with exposure to any of the "classical" [37] toxic heavy metals, or chromium (another toxic heavy metal) or arsenic (a metalloid), are shown in the table. [38]
A chemical hazard symbol is a pictogram applied to containers and storage areas of dangerous chemical compounds to indicate the specific hazard, and thus the required precautions. There are several systems of labels, depending on the purpose, such as on the container for transportation, containers for end-use, or on a vehicle during transportation.
