Zirconium is considered as a not dangerous metal; but the inhalation of zirconium fine powders must be avoided (a cause of pulmonary diseases).
Zirconium is a natural chemical element; zirconium is found in some minerals.
Zirconium is not a toxic element, but the long therm inhalation oz zirconium fine powders is dangerous, leading to pneumoconioses. Zirconium powders are pyrophoric. Processing of Zr in the lathe will be made with carefully cooling.
Zirconium is a natural element found in some minerals.
Additive in tooth pastes (as abrasive), component of some anti perspirants, oxygen sensors, zirconium dioxide knifes, golf clubs with zirconium dioxide or zirconium, electronic devices in a case of zirconium dioxide, component in some cell phones (zirconium titanate), etc.
Any serious problems
The alloy zirconium-aluminium is used for some components for planes.
Zirconium does have radioactive isotopes, but the main ones used in industry are not radioactive.
Zirconium can combine with elements such as oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, and carbon to form various compounds. These combinations lead to the formation of zirconium oxide, zirconium nitride, zirconium hydride, and zirconium carbide.
The toxicity of zirconium is not very important; only the inhalation of zirconium and zirconium compounds powders is dangerous (as for many other materials) - leading to pneumoconioses. Also zirconium can be pyrophoric at high temperatures, in powdr form. Zirconium is used for surgical implants, stomatology - as zirconium dioxide, im some cosmetics. No nutitional use.
Zirconium itself is not considered poisonous. However, zirconium compounds can be harmful if ingested or inhaled. It is important to follow proper safety measures when handling zirconium to prevent any potential health risks.
Zirconium is an element - as are silver and lead. Therefore, zirconium is not silver nor lead and, conversely, silver is not zirconium, lead is not zirconium.
Yes it is.
