| Abstract |
Historical survey of biological monitoring measures practiced in a foundry producing arsenic anhydride. Discussion of normal arsenic content in urine (total arsenic) and of the influence of nutrition on it. The determination method used (without ashing) permits a better way to distinguish between exposed workers and the general population. The method was tested on mispickel (arsenical pyrites) miners and on workers in arsenic anhydride recovery. The value of this method in epidemiology is discussed. |
