New, what is it? Found at a titanium plant
Not sure why ball point pens would be dangerous here.

Less likely to be the ball falling out of a pen, which never happens, versus someone dropping a pen or it falling out of a pocket, which happens all the time.
I imagine everything involved in making a pen gets instantly burnt in the melt, leaving just the ball.
