Nickel can cause allergic reactions, lung and nasal cancers. Its mining and refining can lead to environmental pollution.

Ingested silver can cause argyria, a condition resulting in a blue-gray discoloration of the skin. Silver nanoparticles can be toxic to aquatic organisms.

Platinum compounds, used in chemotherapy, can have numerous side effects. Its extraction and refining processes can also harm the environment.

Beryllium can cause lung diseases and is carcinogenic to humans. It poses a high chronic toxicity risk to aquatic organisms.

Copper toxicity can cause gastrointestinal distress and liver damage. It can be toxic to aquatic organisms at high concentrations.

Thallium exposure can result in hair loss, neuropathy, and even death. It can also be harmful to the environment, particularly as a byproduct of smelting.

Tin, particularly organic tin compounds, can affect neurological function and immunological responses. Tin mining and smelting can have environmental impacts.

Mercury exposure can lead to neurological and developmental damage in humans, accumulates in the food chain, especially in fish.

Gold compounds can cause dermatitis and lung disease. Gold mining is highly destructive to the environment including deforestation and water pollution.

Cadmium exposure can cause kidney damage, bone fragility, and lung cancer. It is highly toxic to aquatic life.

Arsenic causes skin lesions, cardiovascular diseases, and various cancers. It contaminates groundwater affecting millions of people.

Lead poisoning can cause anemia, weakness, and kidney and brain damage. Environmental exposure can harm wildlife and ecosystems.

Antimony can cause heart and lung problems, and antimony compounds are considered carcinogenic. It is also toxic to aquatic life.

Zinc is essential in small amounts but can cause nausea and disrupt metal metabolism at high levels. Zinc pollution can result from mining and smelting.

Exposure to high levels of cobalt can lead to heart and lung issues. It can affect soil and water health near mining areas.
