Uses: a source of ionization for smoke detectors and a portable source for gamma radiography.
» Antimony. Symbol: Sb
Like arsenic, which sits directly above it in the periodic table, the toxicity of antimony and its compounds varies according to the chemical state of the element. Many of the salts are carcinogenic.
» Argon. Symbol: Ar
Argon is considered to be non toxic.
» Arsenic. Symbol: As
Arsenic is immediately dangerous to life or health at 5 mg m-3.
» Astatine. Symbol: At

» Beryllium. Symbol: Be
Beryllium and its salts are both toxic and carcinogenic.
» Bismuth. Symbol: Bi
Bismuth is not known to be toxic.
» Bohrium. Symbol: Bh
A synthetically made radioactive element. Only a few atoms have ever been produced. Bohrium decays very rapidly through the emission of I±-particles.
» Boron. Symbol: B
