Description
Plomo, known as lead in English, is a heavy metal with the chemical symbol Pb (from the Latin “plumbum”) and atomic number 82. It is a dense, malleable metal that has been used for thousands of years in various applications, including construction, batteries, and radiation shielding. Lead is known for its high density, low melting point, and resistance to corrosion, making it useful in a wide range of industrial and commercial products. Despite its beneficial properties, lead is toxic and can cause serious health issues if ingested or inhaled, leading to strict regulations on its use and handling. Modern applications often focus on minimizing exposure and finding safer alternatives where possible.
