Title Zinc chloride, zinc oxide, hydrochloric acid exposure and dental erosion in a zinc galvanizing plant in the Netherlands
Bibliographic information 1982, Vol.25, No.3, p.299-307. Illus. 13 ref.
Abstract Picklers were estimated to work 27% of their time in concentrations above the MAC-C value for HCl. 70% of the zinc fumes were present in the form of the chloride. Erosion of incisor teeth occurred in 90% of workers. Causality is not clear, as no control group was used.
