## Abstract Urinary selenium excretion was studied in 21 mercury vapour (HgΒ°)βexposed workers involved in the demolition of a chloralkali plant. The subjects had no known previous occupational exposure to mercury. Their mean preβexposure urinary mercury concentration, determined on average 1.2 days
## 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
Cytogenetic observations have been performed on male subjects occupationally exposed to elemental mercury in a plant where mercury is amalgamated with zinc and in a chloralkali plant ln= 22 ; average level of mercury in urine was 117 Ag/g creatinine and of mercury in blood 3 1 Pg/ 100 ml; mean durat
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
