• Nickel oxide is used in the production of alloys. It is also used in the ceramic industry to make frits, ferrites, and porcelain glazes, and is a component of the nickel-iron battery and fuel cells. (L46)
• Nickel is absorbed mainly through the lungs and gastrointestinal tract. Once in the body it enters the bloodstream, where it binds to albumin, L-histidine, and _2-macroglobulin. Nickel tends to accumulate in the lungs, thyroid, kidney, heart, and liver. Absorbed nickel is excreted in the urine, wherease unabsorbed nickel is excreted in the faeces. (L41)
