HMMMMN.

Have not heard of this chemical before.

Fortunately, Osmium is not commonly used in any massive, routine industrial applications and processing; thus, it becomes easier to trace.

What is osmium tetroxide?

Example: Osmium Tetroxide Stain

I heard a report by Brian Ross about this stuff on the 5:00 PM news report, 770 AM WABC, yesterday. I couldn't find it on ABC's website at the time, but I was sufficiently alarmed that it made me curious.

Nor have I.

Os, a platinum metal, oxidizes to form highly toxic and strong-smelling oxide compound...

This ain't my ball-game...
