Daily metals like Iron, Cobalt, Nickel, and Copper are so familiar and colourful, but did you know their salts are often toxic to the environment? It's essential to learn about safe extraction, disposal methods, and ore sources in the lab to protect our planet. #metals #toxicity #environment #education
