Environmental Impact of Nickel
• Insoluble in water; soluble in some acids
• Ubiquitous Trace Metal - Soil, Water, Air
• Earth's Crust Conent 80ppm
• Soil Content 5-500ppm; 50ppm avg.
• Fresh Water levels 2 to 10µg/l
• Marine Waters 0.2 to 0.7µg/l
• Atmospheric Concentration
• Remote Areas <0.1 to 0.3 ng/m3
• Rural and Urban Areas 5 to 35 ng/m3
• Uptake via inhalation 0.1 to 0.7µg/day
• MP 1453 deg. C for Nickel in NCC® Coat
• BP 2730 deg. C for Nickel in NCC® Coat
• No data on Ni generated by combustion engines and it's effect on the
atmosphere
