we used experimental animal data to derive a human acute reference dose of 1.33 g/ kg body weight, which corresponds to maximum concentration of TTX in shellï¬sh of 200 g/kg.
Uses of Nickel. 1  Nickel is used in many products some of you may use everyday including electric guitar strings, magnets and rechargeable batteries. 2  The magnetic properties of nickel actually make it very important for use in computer hard drives.
Because of nickel's slow rate of oxidation at room temperature, it is considered corrosion-resistant. Historically, this has led to its use for plating metals such as iron and brass, coating chemistry equipment, and manufacturing certain alloys that retain a high silvery polish, such as German silver. About 6% of world nickel production is still used for corrosion-resistant pure-nickel plating. Nickel-plated items are noted for provoking nickel allergy. Nickel has been widely used in coins, though its rising price has led to some replacement with cheaper metals in recent years.
