The most harmful metal to today, out by which 90 are human beings is Lead. naturally existing. The metal related to arthritis is Potassium. Lead has poorest electrical The first man made element is conductivity, silver has Technicium (atomic no: 43) The metal present in Insulin is zinc. highest electrical and thermal Promethium is also a man made conductivity. element (atomic no: 63) Zinc is concentrated on the eyes of human beings. The lightest and simplest Man made elements are known element (gas) - hydrogen. as transuranics.
