Silver

• We use silver daily and might not even realize it. We use it for jewelry, coins,

bullets, china, and energy. Using a lot of it will make it all disappear soon, so we will not be able to use it anymore. Silver has a poison known as agryria which affects the

eyes, skin and organs and eventually causes the skin to turn an ashen gray.

Dangerous Fillings

• Some incidents involving silver are surprisingly innocent, because we would never see it. Multiple people have had to go to the emergency, because of a tooth filling. Dentists would drill into a silver filling trying to fit a cap or a crown and fillings are 50% mercury. The vapor would get inhaled. Many people go through detoxication for over a year.

M i n e r a l sMinerals are in everything. Computer, pencils, iPods,

hair, bodily fluids, you name it. We can also find a lot of them on the periodic table. Minerals are everywhere, and if we mine everywhere, there is hardly going to be a place for cities for wildlife. Some minerals can also have a deadly affect on humans. Woman lose most of there iron once very month and have to replenish it.

More minerals…• Different minerals have different fuel and energy uses. Metals

heat up, magnesium can blow things up, and several others. • Some dangers of transporting minerals are explosion

(mentioned earlier).• Some danger and incidents with minerals is O.D., iron toxicity,

Wilson’s disease, severe trauma, and hyperkalemia (or potassium toxicity)
