There are a few dangerous elements that this source points out. One of them is plutonium. Plutonium used to make a nuclear bomb is put into a fine dust. It creates alpha radiation and a tiny bit of this dust is enough to give someone lung cancer when inhaled. It is handled with a gigantic amount of care. Another element that is dangerous is mercury. If you work in chemistry, people may run into it. Mercury at room temperature becomes an extremely deadly vapor that can cause long term brain damage. This is a reason thermometers are cleaned up quick. A deadly element that can be put in circulation is most likely lead. It can found in leaded gasoline and it can cause brain damage in children.
I believe this article only gave a few examples and should give more. It didn't satisfy me in a knowledgeable stand point. I think it was an average grade type of article. I also believe an informed person is better than a clueless one. This could be one way to help the public avoid anything extremely dangerous that people may have forgotten.
