ABSTRACT

Inorganic tin compounds are known to be non-toxic to humans because they do not exert biological adverse effects and have been demonstrated to enter and excrete out from the body very rapidly in the feces. Global toxic manifestations, especially by the toxic metals and metalloids including arsenic, lead, mercury, hexavalent chromium, and cadmium, devastated and rupturing the environmental and atmospheric integrity. Platinum occurs naturally as the uncombined metal or as an alloy of platinum-iridium. South Africa is the major source of platinum, which provides 75% of the world’s total supply of platinum, while the USSR is the second-largest producer of platinum followed by North America. In the past, the World Health Organization has listed cadmium, mercury, lead, and arsenic as part of major public health concern and environmental hazards including ozone layer depletion.
