Poisoning by the newer metals: beryllium, cadmium, osmium and vanadium

Donald Hunter ; London Hospital, London

Abstract

In the development of new alloys many metals, rare or unknown a few years ago, are now assuming commercial importance. So far no toxic effect has been discovered in workers handling cerium, gallium, indium, molybdenum, rhenium, titanium, tungsten and zirconium. On the contrary toxic effects are already known in the case of beryllium, cadmium, osmium, platinum, selenium, tellurium, uranium and vanadium. This review concerns the toxicity of four of these metals the use of which has been newly developed in industry.
