yes, this has been found in rocks from 65 million years ago, so this is evidence for the extinction of dinosaurs and if the dinosaurs became extinct from it, it is bound to be dangerous because it killed them. it made a mass extinction, so yes iridium is dangerous.

If you mean harmful, Iridium is considered to be of low toxicity.
However, in powder form it can be considered an irritant.
And yet again, Iridium is extremely nonreactive, chemically.
However, if you wish to consume the element, I'd advise against it.

∙ 12y agoThere isn't a whole lot of data on iridium toxicity, but as far as is known, no, it's not poisonous. Bulk iridium is very nonreactive and iridium compounds are usually insoluble, so it's difficult to actually get any of it into the body (this is partly why there's not much data on it; another part is that iridium is extremely rare).
Finely divided iridium powder is somewhat more reactive (even to the point of being flammable) and is a skin irritant, but this is true of a lot of normally innocuous metals (nickel, for example).
