Q. What is the element name for NP?
Neptunium
Q. What does 3B mean on the periodic table?
Group 3B (3)
Q. What is the 81 element?
Thallium
Q. What is element 81 used for?
Thallium oxide is used to produce special glass with a high index of refraction, and also low melting glass that becomes fluid at about 125K. An alloy of mercury containing 8% thallium has a melting point 20°C lower than mercury alone. This can be used in low temperature thermometers and switches.
Q. Where can thallium be found?
Thallium is found as a mineral in the elements crooksite, lorandite and hutchinsonite. It’s also found as a trace element in iron pyrite and obtained from this ore by roasting the mineral. Small amounts of thallium are found in manganese nodules on the ocean floor.
Q. What is thallium used for today?
Thallium uses today commonly include the production of electronic devices, fiber optics, camera lenses, switches, and closures. Thallium metal is used most notably by the semiconductor, fiber optic, and the glass lens industries.
Q. How does the body get rid of thallium?
Prussian blue (PB) has been the most commonly prescribed antidote to treat thallium poisoning; however, its availability is limited in many locations. Besides PB, blood purification treatments are also a beneficial treatment option, especially for patients with severe thallium poisoning.
Q. How do heavy metals affect the brain?

Q. How do heavy metals enter the body?
Some heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, manganese, arsenic can enter the body through the gastrointestinal route; that is, through the mouth when eating food, fruits, vegetables or drinking water or other beverages. Others can enter the body by inhalation while others such as lead can be absorbed through the skin.
Q. Is quinoa high in heavy metals?
Metal concentrations found in plant tissues were higher than their original concentrations in soil, showing that quinoa is very sensitive to heavy metal contaminated soil.
Q. What vegetables have heavy metals?
Plant fruits and vegetables that arise from flowers, as heavy metals tend to accumulate in root, leaf, and stem tissue at a much higher level than in fruits and head or flower vegetables (e.g., broccoli, artichokes, cauliflower, etc.) [5].
Q. Does spinach have heavy metals?
Leafy vegetables were found to contain the highest metals values especially parsley (543.2 and 0.048 μg/g for Fe and Hg respectively), Jews mallow (94.12 and 33.22 μg/g for Mn and Zn respectively), spinach (4.13 μg/g for Cd).
Q. Are carrots high in metals?
The roots of plants are in closest contact with the soil and have higher concentrations of heavy metals than other vegetables. Switching from carrots or sweet potatoes to other vegetables could decrease the total heavy metal content on that day by about 73%.
