| Only a few atoms of bohrium have ever been made, and it will probably never be isolated in observable quantities. |
| In 1997, however, the name bohrium for element 107 was recognized internationally. |
| This is because bohrium decays very rapidly through the emission of particles. |
| Few atoms have ever been made, but if enough were found in one area, bohrium would constitute a radiation hazard. |
| The originally proposed names of these elements by IUPAC were, in order, dubnium, joliotium, rutherfordium, bohrium, hahnium, and meiterium. |
| Due to its extremely short half-life, there's no reason for considering the effects of bohrium in the environment. |
