| Abstract |
Renal function indicated by urinary albumin and N-acetyl-β-glucosaminidase was studied among a group of 60 chlorine-alkali workers and 60 controls. Exposure to mercury (Hg) vapour had occurred for at least 5 years (mean exposure: 13.7 years). The estimated long-term exposure level, calculated from TWA blood concentrations of Hg, had been ca. 25µg/m3 of air. Neither glomerular nor tubular effects were shown in the exposed workers. |
