Thallium is a soft silver-gray highly toxic metal that resembles lead. Despite its toxicity, thallium's physical properties have lead to its increased usage in recent years, including the manufacture of photocells, infrared detectors, and as a modifier to specialty glasses. This self-contained volume is organized and presented a logical manner allowing the reader to discover all aspects of thallium and its interactions with the environment. The book features contributions from an international panel of experts who address the effects of thallium exposure to aquatic and terrestrial environments, and examine the effects of thallium on humans and wildlife. |
