  2. Selenium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selenium

    The 1992 study found the maximum safe dietary selenium intake to be approximately 800 micrograms per day (15 micrograms per kilogram body weight), but suggested 400 micrograms per day to avoid creating an imbalance of nutrients in the diet and to accord with data from other countries. [137]

  3. Uranium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uranium

    Dry weight concentrations of uranium in plants range from 5 to 60 parts per billion, and ash from burnt wood can have concentrations up to 4 parts per million. [30] Dry weight concentrations of uranium in food plants are typically lower with one to two micrograms per day ingested through the food people eat.

  4. Chromium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromium

    In one study, juvenile fish gained weight on a zero chromium diet, but the addition of 500 μg of chromium in the form of chromium chloride or other supplement types, per kilogram of food (dry weight), increased weight gain. At 2,000 μg/kg the weight gain was no better than with the zero chromium diet, and there were increased DNA strand breaks.

    Crystals of silver nitrate under a microscope. Silver nitrate is an inorganic compound with chemical formula AgNO 3.It is a versatile precursor to many other silver compounds, such as those used in photography.

  7. Plutonium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plutonium

    On August 20, 1942, a trace quantity of this element was isolated and measured for the first time. About 50 micrograms of plutonium-239 combined with uranium and fission products was produced and only about 1 microgram was isolated. [54] [81] This procedure enabled chemists to determine the new element's atomic weight.

  8. General Motors LS-based small-block engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Motors_LS-based...

    The 265 Turbo-Fire distinguished itself from other engines of the era such as Cadillac's 331 series of the late 1940s and early 1950s by reducing the size and weight of various components within the engine; a compact engine block combined with a light valvetrain gave the Turbo-Fire a 40 lb (18 kg) weight reduction compared to the inline-sixes ...
