BIOLOGICAL MONITORING OF MERCURY EXPOSURE IN DENTISTS OF TEHRAN
In order to assess the risk for mercury poisoning in dentists, urine specimens were collected and analysed from 250 dentists (190 male, 60 female). Subject data and pertinent health symptoms were asked via a questionnaire. The results indicate that the mean and standard deviation of mercury values were 51.3± 38.0 µg/L, while 27.2 percent of dentists had levels within normal limits (0-19 µg/...

متن کاملHuman biological monitoring of mercury for exposure assessment
Mercury (Hg) is a naturally occurring element that has metallic, inorganic and organic forms, each with their own implications for human health. Exposure to mercury primarily occurs by inhalation of metallic mercury vapors and by dietary intake of organic mercury. Early health effects are often not well detected. Therefore, determination of the internal dose is a valuable approach in primary pr...
متن کاملoccupational exposure to mercury: air exposure assessment and biological monitoring based on dispersive ionic liquid-liquid microextraction.
exposure to mercury (hg) as a heavy metal can cause health effects. the objective of this study was to assess occupational exposure to hg in a chlor-alkali petrochemical industry in iran by determining of hg concentrations in air, blood and urine samples.the study was performed on 50 exposed subjects and 50 unexposed controls. air samples were collected in the breathing zone of exposed subjects...
متن کاملAssessment of exposure to lead through air and biological monitoring in a lead and zinc mine
Background and aim: Lead is ubiquitous and one of the earliest metals discovered by the human. This metal is widely used in different industries due to its important physico-chemical properties like softness, high malleability, ductility, low melting point and resistance to corrosion. Lead absorbed in body with several routs and when transfer in blood is primarily in red blood cells. Human exp...
