The Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) number for bismuth metal are used within the recommended ranges of dosage and length of treatment.
Bismuth has few commercial applications, and those applications that use it generally require small quantities relative to other raw materials. In the United States, for example, 733 tonnes of bismuth were consumed in 2016, of which 70% went into chemicals (including pharmaceuticals, pigments, and cosmetics) and 11% into bismuth alloys.
Bismuth is the most naturally diamagnetic element and has one of the lowest values of thermal conductivity among metals.
