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, as well as in dentistry and in the electrical industry. The general population is primarily exposed to palladium through dental alloys or jewellery. This book evaluates the risks to human health and the environment posed by exposures to palladium.
