Descriptions

Bismuth is a chemical element (symbol Bi and atomic number 83). This heavy, brittle, white crystalline trivalent poor metal has a pink tinge and chemically resembles arsenic and antimony. Of all the metals, it is the most naturally diamagnetic, and only mercury has less thermal conductivity. Lead -free bismuth compounds are used in cosmetics and in medical procedures. Bismuth and most of its compounds are less toxic compared to other heavy metals (lead, antimony, etc.) and it is not bio-accumulative. Bismuth poisoning exists and mostly affects the kidney, liver, and bladder. Skin and respiratory irritation can also follow exposure to respective organs. As with lead, overexposure to bismuth can result in the formation of a black deposit on the gingiva, known as a bismuth line.
