“…Furthermore, reproductive effects, hydrocephalus, edema, exophthalmia, and ocular hemorrhage have been documented. These findings underscore the toxicological risks associated with tellurium exposure across various bodily systems and organs [ 99 ]. Physiologically based extraction tests showed that significantly more Te dissolves in synthetic stomach fluids compared to lung fluids, with its gastric bioaccessibility ranging from 13 to 31% of the total Te.…”

Tellurium (Te) is the heaviest stable chalcogen and is a rare element in Earth’s crust (one to five ppb). It was discovered in gold ore from mines in Kleinschlatten near the present-day city of Zlatna, Romania. Industrial and other applications of Te focus on its inorganic forms. Tellurium can be toxic to animals and humans at low doses. Chronic tellurium poisoning endangers the kidney, liver, and nervous system. However, Te can be effective against bacteria and is able to destroy cancer cells. Tellurium can also be used to develop redox modulators and enzyme inhibitors. Soluble salts that contain Te had a role as therapeutic and antimicrobial agents before the advent of antibiotics. The pharmaceutical use of Te is not widespread due to the narrow margin between beneficial and toxic doses, but there are differences between the measure of toxicity based on the Te form. Nano-tellurium (Te-NPs) has several applications: it can act as an adsorptive agent to remove pollutants, and it can be used in antibacterial coating, photo-catalysis for the degradation of dyes, and conductive electronic materials. Nano-sized Te particles are the most promising and can be produced in both chemical and biological ways. Safety assessments are essential to determine the potential risks and benefits of using Te compounds in various applications. Future challenges and directions in developing nano-materials, nano-alloys, and nano-structures based on Te are still open to debate.

There are 67 elements classified as metals and the present chapter presents a review of the toxicology and evidence for useful biological monitoring of 29 of these elements and their various chemical compounds. Introductory sections of the chapter deals with general aspects of metal toxicology. Emphasis is given to the fundamental importance of speciation of metals. The chemical species is defined as the specific form of an element defined as to isotopic composition, electronic or oxidation state and /or complex or molecular structure. Consideration of specific chemical species is of fundamental importance in toxicology and biological monitoring. Advances in chemical analytical methods has made it possible in recent years to use biological monitoring i.e., repeated measurements of metallic compounds in tissues or biological fluids in order to evaluate occupational or environmental exposures and health risks. For all the elements dealt with in this chapter the importance of chemical species is considered when reviewing the uptake, metabolism and excretion; toxic effects and dose‐response relationships; carcinogenicity; genotoxicity as well as biological monitoring. The following metals and their compounds are covered in the present chapter: Aluminium, Antimony, Arsenic, Barium, Beryllium, Bismuth, Cadmium, Chromium, Cobalt, Copper, Gallium and Semiconductor compounds, Germanium, Indium, Iron, Lead, Manganese, Mercury, Molybdenum, Nickel, Palladium, Platinum, Selenium, Silver, Tellurium, Thallium, Tin, Titanium, Tungsten and Zinc.
