Gallium highly reactive (rubidium and caesium) nor highly toxic (mercury) and can therefore be used in metal-in-glass high-temperature thermometers. It is also notable for having one of the largest liquid ranges for a metal, and for having (unlike mercury) a low vapor pressure at high temperatures. Gallium's boiling point, 2673 K, is more than eight times higher than its melting point on the absolute scale, the greatest ratio between melting point and boiling point of any element. Unlike mercury, liquid gallium metal wets glass and skin, along with most other materials (with the exceptions of quartz, graphite, and Teflon), making it
Toxic injury products, pharmaceuticals and industrial products. Many commonly found natural substances may be toxic. They can be found in our air, water or food supply. The top ten most common environmental toxins are: Avoiding direct exposure to toxins will reduce the risk of toxic injury. For safety reasons, wear personal protective equipment when working near environmental or chemical toxins. Many countries have guides classifying dangerous goods and identifying the risks associated with them, such as Canada's Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System. These guides have been developed to ensure worker safety when handling dangerous chemical toxins. It is also important to maintain
