The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has set the permissible exposure limit (PEL) for tantalum exposure in the workplace as 5 mg/m3 over an 8-hour workday. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has set a recommended exposure limit (REL) of 5 mg/m3 over an 8-hour workday and a short-term limit of 10 mg/m3. At levels of 2500 mg/m3, tantalum is immediately dangerous to life and health.
Tantalum is a metal and does not have a particular natural odor.
Tantalum was discovered in 1802 by Anders Ekeberg.
Tantalum (V) Oxide
Tantalum is a metal.
The oxidation number of Tantalum in Ta2O5 is +5. In the oxide formula, oxygen has an oxidation number of -2. Since there are two oxygen atoms for every tantalum atom, the oxidation number of Tantalum must be +5 to balance the charges.
yes it is poisonous
It is a substance of moderate toxicity.
yes, it is
Einsteinium is extremely radioactive and dangerous.
Poisonous, ignitable, or cancer causing waste is called hazardous waste. Other properties of hazardous wastes are that they may be corrosive or reactive.
yes if you happen to look at them during blow up. the worst offenders are tantalum whereby they unwind in a long stream of metal
If consumed rubidium may be poisonous, but other wise it isn't.
Not all hazardous wastes are carcinogenic. All are however toxic to people, animals, and/or plant life. Anything labeled hazardous will need to be handeled properly.
No. But breathing pure xenon will block oxygen and cause asphyxiation.
