The ecological advantages of ICPs have made them of particular interest in the field of rechargeable batteries, since they do not involve heavy metals and do not appear to have any serious toxicological problems. 

Offers direct access to virtually all of the world s scientific and data bases for toxicology and related information. Covers chemicals, pesticides, food additives, industrial chemicals, heavy metals, environmental pollutants, and pharmaceuticals. The Center is online to more than 400 computerized databases, including DIALOG, MEDLARS, STN International, ITIS, and DROLS. It performs searches for outside users for a fee.

The Critical concentrations with respect to the soil organisms should be related to a low effect level on the most sensitive species. The effects on the process of metabolism and other processes within the organisms should be considered and also the diversity of the species, which is most sensitive to the heavy metals, has to be accounted. Critical limits must refer to the chronic or accumulated effects. For assessment of the critical concentrations in crops and in drinking water, human-toxicological information is required. In general, for establishing critical loads we should also account the additive effects of the different metals and combination effect between the acidification and biogeochemical mobilization of the heavy metals in soils and bottom sediments. 

Cadmium occurs naturally as sulfide co-deposited with zinc, copper, and lead sulfides. It is produced as a by-product in above-mentioned metal processing. Similar to lead and mercury, this heavy metal has no known biological functions in living organisms, and accordingly its accumulation in food and water leads to undesirable consequences to biota. Cadmium toxicology is related to dangerous influence to CNS and excretion systems, firstly, on kidney.

The term heavy metals is rather broad, relative, and nonspecific. There are many heavy metals. In industrial toxicology, however, the term is used to describe certain heavy metallic substances that can be distinguished from other metals because of their particular toxic effects. Of these, the most common are arsenic, lead, and mercury. These are the ones that will be dealt with here.

X-ray fluorescence can be used to analyse all types of samples. Its applications are numerous, whether in research and development or in quality control of production. Initially, X-ray fluorescence was used in industries that treat metals of primary fusion or alloys and, more generally, in the mineral industry (for use one ceramics, cements, steel, glass, etc.). Because of the ease of use of common X-ray fluorescence instruments, its scope of application has expanded into other areas the photographic industry and semi-conductors (for impurity control in silicon chips), the petroleum industry, geology, paper mills, gas analyses (such as nitrogen), toxicology and environmental applications (dust, fumes from combustion, heavy metals, and dangerous materials in waste such as Pb, As, Cr, Cd, etc.).
