Mercury (Hg) and selenium (Se) levels were determined for erythrocytes, plasma and urine of 25 male and 29 female workers exposed to elemental mercury (Hg") vapor. Interrelationship between the Hg levels and the Se levels was examined by the correlational analysis and the stepwise regression analysi
The renal function of a population of workers occupationally exposed to mercury in the chlor-alkali industry has been examined and compared to that of a population of workers with no occupational exposure to mercury. Measurement of specific urinary proteins and enzymes have been carried out on each
## Abstract The content of selenium and mercury in urine was measured in 28 male workers exposed to HgΒ° and in 21 unexposed male controls. The first group excreted significantly more selenium into urine as compared with the control group. No significant correlation between mercury and selenium excr
