	Tellurium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tellurium is a relatively rare element, in the same chemical family as oxygen, sulfur, selenium, and polonium (the chalcogens).
		Tellurium is sometimes found in its native form, but is more often found as the telluride of gold (calaverite), and combined with other metals.
		Tellurium and tellurium compounds should be considered to be toxic and need to be handled with care.

		Tellurium was first recognized as a distinct element in 1798 by M. Klaproth.
		It may be obtained by heating tellurium bismuth with sodium carbonate, lixiviating the fused mass with water, filtering, and exposing the filtrate to air, when the tellurium is gradually precipitated as a grey powder (J. Berzelius).
		The precipitated tellurium is then fused with potassium cyanide, the melt extracted with water and the element precipitated by drawing a current of air through the solution and finally distilled in a current of hydrogen.

		Of toxicological interest are elemental tellurium, tellurium dioxide, the gases hydrogen telluride and tellurium hexafluoride, and the water soluble salts of tellurous and telluric acid.
		EPIDEMIOLOGY Tellurium is used as an additive in many metallurgical processes such that it is often involved in multiple metal exposures, notably with lead, zinc, arsenic, selenium, cadmium and thallium.
		Reprotoxicity There are no reports of exposure to tellurium or its compounds causing reproductive effects in humans although pregnant rats fed diets containing 500 to 3500 ppm tellurium gave birth to hydrocephalic (non- obstructive) offspring, the incidence of hydrocephalus being proportional to the tellurium dose (Duckett, 1970).
