Thallium 81Tl204.3833
1861 von W. Crookes in London, UK, entdeckt. 1862 von C. -A. Lamy in Paris, Frankreich, dargestellt.
[Griechisch, thallos = grüner Zweig]
French: thallium
English: thallium
Italian: tallio
Spanish: talio
Beschreibung: Weiches, hellgraues Metall. Läuft leicht in feuchter Luft an und reagiert mit Dampf zu TlOH. Wird durch Säuren angegriffen, schnell durch HNO3. Wird wegen seiner Toxizität wenig verwendet, jedoch für Spezialgläser benutzt.

|---|---|
| Toxicity | |
| Toxic intake: | metal, oral, human = 5.7 mg Kg-1 |
| Lethal intake: | ingestion of 0.2 - 1g Tl2SO4 for humans. LD50 (Tl2SO4, oral, mouse) = 29 mg Kg-1 |
| Hazards: | Thalium compounds are extremely toxic and cumulative; they are also absorbed through the skin. Thallium takes several days to act and affects the nervous system. It is also teratogenic. |
