Description

This book evaluates the risks to human health and the environment posed by the mining, refining, industrial use and recylcing of platinum and selected platinum compounds. Because of its exceptional catalytic properties, resistence 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 exhausts have caused a sharp increase in the world demand for this metal. Some platinum compounds, such as cisplatin, also have important therapeutic applications.
