Evaluates the risks to human health and the environment posed by
the mining, refining, industrial use, and recycling of platinum and
selected platinum compounds. Because of its exceptional catalytic
properties, resistance to chemical corrosion, and high mechanical
strength, platinum is widely used in the chemical and petroleum
industries, most notably in the production of catalysts, including
devices for reducing hazardous gas emissions. The growing use of
catalytic converters to reduce pollution from automobile exhausts
has caused a sharp increase in the world demand for this metal.
Compounds such as cisplatin also have important therapeutic
applications.
