| Abstract: | Society at large often incorrectly thinks that the word 'chemicals' implies danger, when of course all matter can be described as a chemical. In this article we define what precisely we mean by 'hazard', risk' and 'danger'; we then consider selected elements from the periodic table that are noteworthy because of their dangerous characteristics. |
