Due to their extreme siderophile and chalcophile behaviour, these elements are highly sensitive tracers of geological processes involving metal and sulfide phases. As an invaluable bonus, three radioisotope decay systems include the PGEs as parent (107Pd-107Ag), daughter (187Re-187Os) or both (190Pt-186Os), thus providing chronological information, and isotopic tracers of distinct geochemical reservoirs. Whereas in the past these elements have presented unique challenges in their analysis, the advent of new technologies has allowed elemental and isotopic abundances to be measured with unprecedented precision and accuracy. The PGE consequently offer insight into a wide range of geological processes that no other group of elements can provide. Primarily due to their “noble” character, the PGE are now in widespread use as autocatalysts, jewelry, and in fuel production, with the demand in the year 2007 totaling some 16 million ounces, worth 17 billion $US. However, the extraction and use of the PGEs results in their release to the environment, which is a matter of concern, as the risks of PGE emissions to human health and the environment have not been accurately assessed. This issue of Elements will provide an overview of our current understanding of the distribution of PGE and their isotopes in the Earth and solar system, and what this knowledge tells us about the workings of our planet, about the extraction of PGE resources, and about the environmental risks attendant on their use.
