Tips & Tricks

Lead (Plumbum)

Lead is a heavy metal that is highly toxic to humans and the environment. It can cause serious health issues, including neurological damage and developmental problems in children.

FUN FACT

The ancient Romans used lead for their water pipes, which is where the term “plumbing” comes from, as the Latin word for lead is “plumbum.”

Mercury

Mercury is a liquid metal that is dangerous to human health and the environment. It can cause neurological and behavioral disorders and is particularly harmful to developing fetuses.

FUN FACT

Mercury is the only metal that is liquid at room temperature, making it unique among the elements.

Cadmium

Cadmium is a toxic metal that can cause kidney damage, bone weakening, and cancer. It is often found in batteries and industrial coatings.

FUN FACT

Cadmium is used in the production of vibrant yellow, orange, and red pigments used in paints and plastics.

Arsenic

Arsenic is a poisonous metalloid that can cause skin lesions, cancer, and cardiovascular diseases. It is often found in contaminated water and food.

FUN FACT

In the Victorian era, arsenic was used in wallpaper and clothing dyes, leading to accidental poisonings.

Copper

Copper is a highly conductive metal used extensively in electrical wiring and plumbing. It is also known for its antimicrobial properties.

FUN FACT

Copper was the first metal to be used by humans, with evidence of copper tools dating back to 10,000 years ago.

Gold

Gold is a precious metal known for its beauty and resistance to corrosion. It is widely used in jewelry, electronics, and as a monetary standard.

FUN FACT

The world’s oceans contain an estimated 20 million tons of gold, but it is in such low concentration that it is not economically feasible to extract.

Platinum

Platinum is a rare, dense metal with high resistance to corrosion and high melting point, making it valuable in catalytic converters, jewelry, and electronics.

FUN FACT

Platinum is so rare that all of the platinum ever mined would fit into an average-sized living room.

Palladium​

Palladium is a precious metal used primarily in catalytic converters to reduce harmful emissions from vehicles. It is also used in electronics and dentistry.

FUN FACT

Palladium is more abundant in the Earth’s crust than gold but is still considered a rare metal.

Steel

Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon, known for its strength and versatility. It is used in construction, transportation, and manufacturing.

FUN FACT

The Eiffel Tower is made of iron, not steel, but if it were to be constructed today, steel would likely be the material of choice due to its superior strength.

Aluminum

Aluminum is a lightweight, durable metal used in transportation, packaging, and construction. It is known for its high strength-to-weight ratio.

FUN FACT

Aluminum is the most abundant metal in the Earth’s crust, but it was once considered more valuable than gold because of the difficulty in extracting it from its ore.
