✦ Synopsis

Selenium (Se) plasma levels were studied in 222 coal miners to assess whether selenium is decreased in relation to coal dust exposure, taking age, alcohol, and tobacco consumption into account. Selenium levels decreased significantly with age and current tobacco consumption, among miners aged 34-50. Long-term and current exposure to coal dust were studied. The lowest Se values were obsewed for those with both long-term and current exposure (60.2 ng/ml), the highest for those never or slightly exposed (64.1 ng/ml); those with long-term exposure not currently exposed fell in un intermediate position (61.3 ng/ml). No relation was obsewed with alcohol consumption. The association of coal dust with low selenium remained significant after adjustment for age and smoking. o 1996 WiIey-Liss, Inc.
