Isnt there a more toxic side to aluminion foil?

I wouldn't worry about it.  If you avoid all of the things that might be bad for you, your immune system will shut down someday when faced with a serious pathogen.  Besides, you drink out of Aluminum cans, Silly.  Also, the baby boomers played with mercury which toxic to even be within 5 feet of and they don't have elevated cancer risks or anything.  Relax.

Aluminum is more reactive.\nSome times you are suposed to look up some of the homework to learn how to solve problems\n. There is a chart of activities of elements, also knowledge of the periodic table shows whi are more reactive

try a sequestering agent like Super Sequa-Sol, it is in no way toxic and can be added while people are in the water.

yes.\ndo you smoke, if so don't worry about the radio frequency.\n\nradio means energy is radiated\nyou have an increased risk of leukeamia\n\nbut the reality is that we are all exposed to large amounts of radio energy, and I mean LARGE.\n\npersonally, if i were you i would be more worried about the glue. the carcinogens that come out of that stuff... man. Have you read the material data safety sheets (M.S.D.S.) on the glue that you use? do a search on the net for the MSDS for the glues and you may not be so concerned about the radiation. Formaledyde is great stuff

While we hate to think of those cute little animals being exposed to various materials, the alternative in many cases is to test them on humans.  There are, however, alternatives to animal testing of some kinds of materials.  There are synthetic membranes which react the same as  human or animal tissue with respect to testing of the corrosivity of a material.  These synthetic membranes cannot simulate the reaction of human or animal tissue to certain medicines or other non-corrosive materials.  In those instances, animal testing is the only choice before human testing.  Better an animal should suffer the ill effects of a test material than a human.  If you disagree, would you volunteer to be a test subject for an unknown medicine if the ill effects could possibly be debilitating or fatal?  Or would you prefer that the Dr. prescribe a medicine that could not be tested because animal testing was outlawed?

There are thousands of toxic items used in industry, agriculture, water treatment, etc that can be used as terrorist weapons. However Po-210 is very toxic.  It is readily soluble in dilute acids and disperses throughout the body.  It is 5000 times as radioactive as radium.  It emits alpha particles, which means that inside a sealed container or capsule it's virtually harmless, but in proximity to bone marrow, hair follicles, lung, liver, and kidney tissue (plus other tissues) it can deliver a high dose of radiation.  It is made in nuclear reactors by bismuth-209 absorbing a neutron to become bismuth-210, which emits a beta particle (same charge and size as an electron) to become polonium-210.  Which leads one to speculate that, if Mr. Litvinenko was indeed intentionally poisoned with this substance, the perps must have had access to a nuclear reactor and/or waste products from one.   \n \n        An interesting medical trivia point:  smoking 2 packs per day gives one on the average 1300 millirems of radiation a year because of adherence of polonium (and other radioactive substances) to tobacco leaves.  This is roughly four times the average annual US radiation dose from natural background, including radon, that all of us receive.  Of course, there are areas of the world, e.g. some spots in Iran, where the dose from radon from hot springs is ten times higher than the dose from smoking!

There might be some very slight difference in the albedo between the 'shiny' and 'dull' sides of the foil, but there's probably more variation in your oven temperature than there would be a difference between which side of the foil you use.\n\nThe shiny side is created when the roll of aluminum foil is spun off the rollers in the packaging plant, and the side against the roller gets burnished as it reels out.  Both sides are very nearly equal in their heat reflection abilities, and so you can use either side without fear that the other side may have 'worked better'.

I've heard of people claiming you can smelt aluminum, etc., in a microwave oven, if you use silica bricks to contain the heat. You might also need to use a graphite crucible, which will heat up but that the molten metal will not stick to. \n\nFinally, since magnesium is SO flammable (but that's why you want to smelt it, to make inconspicuous incendiary devices, right? you dirty little terrorist) you need to have a continuous stream of some non-oxidizing gas, such as nitrogen, flowing through the oven while it is in use.\n\nBottom line? Don't try this at home. You'll get yourself killed if you're lucky, burned and crippled for life if you're not. And I'm asking the yahoo people to contact the local law enforcement authorities in your area.

borax does not have any reported toxicity but quite frankly I would avoid doing it.

Boring Stuff:\nAtomic weight: 9.012\nMelting point 1278 degrees Celsius\nBoiling oint 2970 degrees C\nDensity 1.8 kg/L\nHas no stable isotopes.\nSoluble in all acids except nitric acid.\n\nIs the 47th most abundant elemnt and considered a rare metal.\n\n\nMedical Stuff:\nIf beryllium dust is breatehd in, they cause chronic inflamation of the lungs and shortge of breath. Brief exposure to beryllium is caused berylliosis. \nIt's carcinogenic.\n\nWar History:\nBeryllium does not absorb nuetrons and reflects some of them, and it's used in nuclear weapons and in teh nuclear energy industry. \n\nEconomic.&#92;:\nWehn copper and nickel are laloyed with Be, they become much better at conducting electricity. \nBeryllium is trasnparent ot Xrays, which is why it is used in windows for Xray Tubes.

Are you in chemistry?  Because I am. \nI think it's  3 Al2Cl + 3 Ni. \n\n I hate Cemistry.

Its not at all hazardous if taken in as diluded form as it is found in our stomch noramlly.\n\nIn abnoraml situation the acid in the stomch becomes of higher concentration, which we call as "acidity".

mercury is pretty damn toxic - it sends you mad!

I have done some research on this because my mom has been stricken with Alztiemers. Drs dont think its aluminium. They say most the time its triggered from stroke or stress. They dont know for sure the cause.

AgNO3 in solution doesn't burn, unless there's enough acid present.  It does not come off until the skin cells it's on come off (takes several days).  It isn't toxic on your skin either, since it's the silver ion, not the neutral atom.  And, of course, you haven't dipped your entire body in it.

Similar but far more toxic.

I have never heard of blasting adding a layer of protection. Aluminum Oxide by itself is a strong abrasive, its what they make sandpaper out of. If you are using it for blasting be very careful as it works very fast. I think whomever told you about "adding protection" means about the thin oxide layer formed on the outer skin of aluminum when it is exposed to Oxygen. This skin prevents corrosion as long as it is not exposed to galvanic reaction [this is why zinc plates are put onto aluminum boats and it also makes aluminum almost impossible to weld if not removed as the oxide melts at around 3400 degrees where as aluminum itself melts at around 1200. this means that the aluminum would melt and fall away before you were able to start added filler metal to it.
