In Indien und CHina vor 1500 bekannt.

[Zink kommt von Zinken = zackenartige Formen]

French: zinc
English: zinc

Biological data

Biological role: Essential for all species
Toxicity  
Toxic intake: generally regarded as of low toxicity
Lethal intake: LD50 (chloride, oral, rat) = 350 mg kg-1
Hazards: Zinc metal is a human skin irritant but otherwise is non-toxic and so are most common compounds; however, zinc salts have been shown to be experimental carcinogens.

Blood: 7.0 mg dm-3
Bone: 75 - 170 p.p.m.
Liver: 240 p.p.m.
Muscle: 240 p.p.m.
Daily dietary intake: 5 - 40 mg
Total mass of element in average [70 kg] person: 2.3 mg
