Uranium has been known to be a distinct element since 1789. Apart from the small amount of its salts used in yellow pottery glazes, however, it remained more or less a laboratory curiosity until the 1920s. Then, the treatment of uranium ore, for the recovery of its radium (for the treatment of cancer), began in Eastern Europe and Zaire, followed by Canada in 1933. The separated uranium was mostly stockpiled or discarded.

A pottery glaze is a mixture of chemical compounds. When the glaze is heated, chemical changes take place. As a potter works with clay, the clay properties (its elasticity, its color, its texture) change as chemical changes take place within the clay structure. 

Students will calculate the relative mass of each compound needed to prepare a pottery glaze that waterproofs and decorates a pottery piece for Activity 4.7. 

Uranium was discovered in 1789 in pitchblende from Joachimisthal by M. H. Klaproth, though he isolated the oxide and not the metal. " 63 As part of the celebration of Klaproth s discovery, his lectures have been published, together with notes taken by his student, the philosopher Schopenhauer.64-66 At first the only use that could be found for uranium was to impart a yellow colour to glass and pottery glazes.67... 

Cobalt dyes have been used for centuries. Craftsmen used materials from the earth to color glass, pottery, glazes, and other materials. Cobalt minerals were especially prized for their rich blue color.

Inhalation and oral routes from pottery glaze. The emission of antimony into the human environment appears to be the result of human activity, with the emission of antimony trioxide being the most significant source. Antimony trioxide is emitted as a result of coal burning or with fly ash when antimony-containing ores are smelted. 

Pollution caused by heavy metals is now a worldwide phenomenon. Among the many heavy metals, lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), arsenic (As), chromium (Cr), zinc (Zn), and copper (Cu) are of most concern, although the last three metals are essential nutrients in animal and human nutrition. These metals are widely used in industry, particularly in metal-working or metalplating, and in such products as batteries and electronics. They are also used in the production of jewelry, paint pigments, pottery glazes, inks, dyes, rubber, plastics, pesticides, and even in medicines. These metals enter the environment wherever they are produced, used, and ultimately discarded. 

Lead has a low melting point (326°C). It is a soft, malleable metal, i.e., it can be easily formed into a variety of shapes. It can form alloys with many other metals. Other important industrial products containing Pb include pipes, paints, solders, glass, pottery glazes, rubber, plastics, and insecticides.

Barium Carbonate is soft, white, odorless and tasteless, usually found in nature as Witherite Ore. Barium carbonate is used in glass making, as a pottery glaze, roofing tiles, and as rat poison. Barium Carbonate is chemicaly similar to harmless Barium Sulfate. There are many instances where Barium Carbonate has contaminated products made with Barium Sulfate, such as table-salt, reused flour sacks, paper and photographic paper.
