[edit] Information Sources
Some of the text in this entry was rewritten from Los Alamos National Laboratory - Tellurium. Additional text was taken directly from USGS Tellurium Statistics and Information, from the Elements database 20001107 (via dict.org), Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) (via dict.org) and WordNet (r) 1.7 (via dict.org). Data for the table was obtained from the sources listed on the main page and Wikipedia:WikiProject Elements but was reformatted and converted into SI units.
[edit] So is it toxic or not?
The Compounds section says it is not toxic. But the precaution section says it is. Which is it?
well i dunno. sounds like that dude was krazy
Yes, Tellurium is toxic, but only slightly. Much worse thing is with Tellurium side effects -> when body metabolizes Tellurium, it produces volatile compounds of that semimetal which sting awfully.

I have a question...from were do we get it..were do we find it in nature??
[edit] Odd Sentence
"But, during WW 2 the germans were able to isolate an unknown isotope known to be shared with gold."
Given the lack of grammar, incorrect scientific information, and lack of a source, I think this sentence should be removed. How could a tellurium isotope be "shared with gold?" Tellurium is too far away from gold for both elements to have an isotope with the same mass number. --24.18.201.157 01:46, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
