Question
Answer
show In pure form, the elements spontaneously ignite in moist air, one in heated, dry air too; w/moderate-high explosive potential;All are 'Alkaline Metals'.(Barium+Strontium dust 'Alkaline Earth'+Zinc foil/dust'Transitional Metal'can also ignite spontaneously  
🗑
show Potassium, Sodium, Barium

show Characteristics of Lead  
🗑
show Tolerance of 0.15 mg per cubic meter air; 1.5 micrograms (0.0015 mg) per cu.meter in ambient air; 0% in foods; 0.05% in house coatings.  
🗑
show Manganese  
🗑
This element exists in lumps/granules/ powder, in carbon-iron complex, or pure crystals; exists in active & passive states(valences); in highest valence or acid causes skin/tissue ulcers, affects nasal septum; bronchogenic (bronchus/bronchiole carcinoma)   show
🗑
show Characteristics of Lead Poisoning  
🗑
show Symptoms of Lead Encephalopathy  
🗑

🗑
Poisoning hazards from overexposure include gastrointestinal impairmt, inflamed mouth & gums, central nervous symptom tremors, psychological symptoms, mental retardation in children   show
🗑
This element destroys the natural bacterial flora in sewage wastewater treatment process, so very important to notify treatment plant of releases.   show
🗑
show 1. historical result of consumption of mercury-contaminated fish from industrially polluted bay; 2. disease from historical use of Hg in "felt" (and fur)product manufacturing.  
🗑
