The document discusses 17 elements from the periodic table that are harmful to the human body when exceeding standard levels, including beryllium, vanadium, chromium, barium, and radium. It provides details on the natural occurrences and industrial uses of six of these harmful elements: beryllium, vanadium, osmium, barium, chromium, and radium. The document notes that these six elements can enter the air through processes like burning coal and oil or the water through industrial waste and soil erosion.

7. Usage of 6 Harmful Elements and its Purpose
Beryllium (Be):
Beryllium metal
can
be found in mineral rocks,
coal,
soil and volcanic dust. It
enters
air by burning coal and oil
and
in water by means of
industrial
wastes, rock and soil erosion.
8. Usage of 6 Harmful Elements and its Purpose

Vanadium is a
naturally occurring
element in the form of
crystal.
9. Usage of 6 Elements and its Purpose
Osmium (Os):
Osmium is the
densest stable naturally
occurring element in
Earth's crust.
10. Usage of 6 Harmful Elements and its Purpose
Barium (Ba)
Barium metal can
be found in ores
containing mixture of
elements. It combines with
Oxygen, Sulfur and Carbon
to form barium
compounds. It enters into
the air by means of
mining, refining and
burning of coal and oil.
11. Usage of 6 Harmful Elements and its Purpose
Chromium (Cr) :
Chromium
naturally occurs in rocks,
animals, plants and soil.
12. Usage of 6 Harmful Elements and its Purpose
Radium (Ra):
Radium is a
radioactive element
formed from the
breakdown of uranium
and thorium..
