歷史
Iridium was discovered in 1803 by English chemist Smithson Tennant in London.

Chemists who studied platinum dissolved it in aqua regia to create soluble salts and observed a small amount of a dark, insoluble residue.

Smithson Tennant analyzed the insoluble residue and concluded that it must contain a new metal.

應用
Iridium is used in making crucibles and other equipment that is used at high temperatures.

Iridium is also used as a hardening agent in platinum alloys.

Its resistance to arc erosion makes iridium alloys ideal for electrical contacts for spark plugs.

Radioactive isotopes of iridium are used in radiation therapy for the treatment of cancer.
Iridium is considered to be of low toxicity
