Chapter 6  The Genetic Material. The Basic Requirements for Genetic Material (i.e., the material that determines the inherited characteristics of a functional organism): 1  It must be stable.  It must be capable of being expressed when needed.
- In the manufacture of metal or alloys. Toxicology : Zirconium compounds are generally considered to be of low toxicity. Skin : Granulomata have been produced by repeated topical applications of zirconium salts to human skin.
Zircon is a zirconium silicate product that is used for a wide variety of applications. The majority of the zircon sold is used in a variety of high temperature applications.Zircon is a very hard refractory material resistant to chemical attack.Most of its applications rely on these special properties of zircon.irconium dioxide, which is referred to as zirconia, is derived from further processing of the zircon product and is used in laboratory crucibles, metallurgical furnaces and as a refractory material.
