Term Description

Testing is done as an assessment of toxic metal retention to address public health concerns of niobium leaching into drinking water.

Part Description

LP188755-5   Niobium
Niobium (formerly columbium) a chemical element symbol Nb (formerly Cb) and atomic number 41, is a soft, grey, ductile transition metal found in the pyrochlore mineral. The temperature stability of niobium-containing super alloys is important for its use in jet and rocket engines. Niobium alloyed with tin and titanium, are widely used in the superconducting magnets of MRI scanners and, alloyed with titanium, in medical implants. Other applications of niobium include its use in welding, nuclear industries, electronics, optics, numismatics and jewelry. Niobium has no known biological role. While niobium dust is an eye and skin irritant and a potential fire hazard, elemental niobium on a larger scale is physiologically inert (and thus hypoallergenic) and harmless. Niobium-containing compounds are rarely encountered by most people, but some are toxic. There are increasing concerns regarding its public health risks in terms of heavy metal toxicity. The health risks to humans have been suggested to be similar to heavy metals if niobium leaches into our drinking water.
