The only exception are the true heavy metals on the periodic element chart. They can cause problems like Leukemia or at least a bad sunburn like area of your skin and sloughed off mucus membranes.
Except the Cobalt in Alnico speaker magnets it's particle emmisions are too diffuse to cause harm and is no more radioactive, than a regular sidewalk. No- sidewalks are not dangerous. Some Cobalt however is very dangerous, don't buy anything that says enriched except breakfast cereal.
Palladium, Platinum Irridium, Gold and Silver must be in the mix somewhere. And in truth Silver really is a superb conductor.
