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.
Most important are alloys of iron, nickel and chromium, of which stainless steels (frequently 8-12% nickel) are the largest volume. Nickel based alloys-like stainless steel but with higher nickel contents-are used for more demanding applications such as gas turbines and some chemical plants.
