Bibliographic information 1999, Vol.37, No.2, p.231-237. 35 ref.
Abstract Molybdenum has relatively low toxicity. Elimination of molybdenum occurs via the kidney and usually is complete within several weeks. Little data are available on the human toxicity of molybdenum. A gout-like syndrome and pneumoconiosis have been associated with excessive concentrations of molybdenum, but the design of the studies prevents an adequate determination of the aetiology of these effects. Topics: acute toxicity; animal experiments; molybdenum; cast iron; chelating agents; chronic toxicity; determination in blood; determination in urine; dose-response relationship; health hazards; irritants; joint diseases; literature survey; medical treatment; metabolic process; metallurgical products; molybdenum and compounds; pneumoconiosis; stainless steel; toxicology.
