This document provides information on the chemical elements plutonium, mercury, fluorine, lead, chlorine, arsenic, tin, iodine, uranium, sulfur. For each element, it summarizes their health effects if absorbed in excess, symptoms of exposure, and common industrial or household usages. The information seeks to educate on the dangers of exposure to these elements and how they can negatively impact organ function, health, and in severe cases cause death if proper safety precautions are not followed in their production or usage.

2. Plutonium (Pu)
 The radiation from even a small amount of plutonium
dust inhaled into your lungs will give you lung cancer.
 Can affect the ability to resist disease and may cause
reproductive failure.
 Usage:
A dangerous key fissile element that has been
used in explosives for a long time.

3. Mercury (Hg)
 When absorbed into the blood and distributed to all
tissues including the brain it will rapidly contaminate the
passes through the placenta to the fetus and will have fetal
damage.
 People will have paresthesia that will result to stumbling,
slurred speech, constricted visual fields, and impaired
hearing.
 Sooner the person will have tremors and jerks, followed by
coma and death.
 Usage:
An element used in thermometers to
determine the temperature.

4. Fluorine (F)
 Essential for the maintenance of solidity of our bones.
 When absorbed too frequently, it can cause teeth
decay, osteoporosis and harm to kidneys, bones,
nerves and muscles.
 Can cause death at very high concentrations. At low
concentrations it causes eye and nose irritations.
 Usage:
An element used in
making toothpastes.

5. Lead (Pb)
 When too much exposure is done it may cause nerve
disorders, decreasing IQ, Decreasing muscle and bone
growth, kidney failures and Hypertension.
 If it circulates the blood vomiting, diarrhea,
convulsions, comma and death will occure.
 Usage:
An element used in making
automobile batteries and paint.

6. Chlorine (Cl)
 When absorbed it can react with the lungs to generate
hydrochloric acid. Hydrochloric acid is corrosive and can
damage the lungs, which may later cause death.
 Long term exposure may also cause irritation of eyes or
blindness. It has strong oxidizing powers, making it
harmful on skin, and internal organs.
 Usage:
An element used in purifying water and used as a
bleaching agent in household laundry.

7. Arsenic (As)
 Exposure to inorganic arsenic can cause various health
effects, such as irritation of the stomach and
intestines, decreased production of red and white
blood cells, skin changes and lung irritation.
 People who drunk water with arsenic can cause
diarrhea, leukonychia, and convulsions.
 When it goes to the heart you may have a cancer,
stroke, respiratory diseases and diabetes.
 Usage:
An element used for insecticides.

8. Tin (Sn)
 Excessive exposure of Tin will damage your breathing,
urination and immune system.
 The symptoms when you have a Tin exposure is that
your eyes and skin is irritated, severe sweating,
decreasing number of red blood cells and depression.
 Usage:
An element used in making cans for industrial purposes.

9. Iodine (I)
 Too much Iodine consumption will lead you to weight
loss, heartbeat failure and kidney problems.
 When it goes through your body the nervous system
will work more and your metabolism gets high.
 You will have a thyroid related diseases that will defect
some of the human organs.
 Usage:
An element that is used in
making your table salt.

10. Uranium (U)
 When high level of uranium is in your body you can
have respiratory failure.
 This chemical goes through the blood and kills the
kidney cells.
 Cancer of the kidney and cancer of the lung will start if
you emit too much uranium toxics.
 Usage:
An element used in making
the armor of tanks, bullets and missiles.

11. Sulfur (S)
 A human body needs sulfur to get the proteins we
need every day. But when you over use it you will have
a disturbance in blood circulation, reproductive
failure, hearing defects and blindness.
 You can also have a problem when breathing, stomach
disorder, behavioral changes when you get too much
sulfur.
 Usage:
An element used in black
gunpowder and fireworks.
