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.
Where & Why Nickel is Used. Nickel-containing materials play a major role in our everyday lives â food preparation equipment, mobile phones, medical equipment, transport, buildings, power generation â the list is almost endless.
Nickel is important because it forms alloys with several other elements. Itâs useful in making corrosive-resistant alloys such as the patented products Invar, Monel, Inconel and the Hastelloys. Itâs also used to make stainless steel products. The U.S. five-cent coin or nickel is actually a hybrid of copper and nickel. Steel with a component of nickel can be used for armor plates, burglar-proof vaults and other safety products. Itâs also used to make Nichrome, Permalloy and constantan. Nickel plating is often used to coat other metals for protection.
