Palladium is a steel-white, ductile metallic element resembling and
occurring with the other platinum group metals and nickel.
Palladium and its alloys are used in the (petro) chemical and the
automotive industries as catalysts, in dentistry, and in
electronics and the, electrical industry.This book evaluates the
risks to human health and the environment posed by exposures to
palladium. The general population is primarily exposed to palladium
through dental alloys or jewellery. There were case reports
referring to palladium sensitivity associated with exposure to
palladium-containing dental restorations; the, symptoms being
contact dermatitis, stomatitis or mucositis and oral lichen
planus.Palladium ions are considered to be highly toxic to aquatic
organisms. However, due to palladium's high economic value,
emissions of palladium from point sources are currently minimal.
Increased use of catalytic converters may increase palladium
emissions from diffuse sources. It was recommended that these
emissions should, be controlled to be as low as possible.
