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

Abstract
The content of selenium and mercury in urine was measured in 28 male workers exposed to Hg° 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 excretion was found.
