The Periodic Table of Danger
Sosabowski, Michael Hal; Stephens, Michael; Emsley, John
School Science Review, v101 n375 p70-76 Dec 2019
Society at large often incorrectly thinks that the word 'chemicals' implies danger, when of course all matter can be described as a chemical. In this article we define what precisely we mean by 'hazard', risk' and 'danger'; we then consider selected elements from the periodic table that are noteworthy because of their dangerous characteristics.
