EEG findings in chlor-alkali workers subjected to low long term exposure to mercury vapour.
The cerebral effect of long term (mean 15.6, SD 8.9 years) and low (about 25 micrograms/m3 air) exposure to mercury vapour was studied in a group of 41 workers in a chlor-alkali plant and in a group of matched referents by electroencephalography (EEG). In the visually interpreted EEGs only a tendency for an increased number of EEG abnormalities, especially focal ones, could be seen in the expos...

of high quality at high concentration (2,3). The performance of the membrane-type chlor-alltali plant mainly depends on the cell design, the membrane, the quality of feed brine, and operating conditions. Of these, the brine quality is the key factor affecting the service life and the performIn the case of conversion from amalgam to membrane process, it is important to elucidate the effects of m...
متن کاملMercury speciation in the hair of pre-school children living near a chlor-alkali plant.
Exposure to mercury species was assessed in the hair of 130 Spanish children (age 4) from the general population in two areas. Both areas are exposed to different sources of mercury: a point source in Ribera d'Ebre (northeastern Spain) and a diffuse source on the island of Menorca (northwestern Mediterranean). The median MeHg values in the hair of children from Ribera d'Ebre (RE) were nearly tw...
