The European Chemical Society has published a periodic table of element scarcity.

The table is shorter than the ones you've seen in science classrooms. This one features only the 90 elements that make up everything.

Reading the short introduction below the table will help you better understand what you are viewing. Two previous workshops - nitrogen (2022) and phosphorous (2023) - are linked to videos of the presentations. These are long but you may want to move the slider to find sessions you think of interest.

Here is the table.
