ABSORPTION AND EXCRETION OF MERCURY IN DENTAL PERSONNEL: PRELIMINARY STUDY.
Abstract
The concentration of mercury in the atmosphere was examined in two Air Force dental clinics and found to be considerably higher than in a medical laboratory where no mercury or mercurial compounds are used. Urine samples were collected during an 8-hour period each day in both the clinics and the laboratory. Analysis of the urine of dental personnel in the clinics showed a greater concentration of mercury than found in the urine of the medical personnel working in the laboratory. (Author)
