| Abstract |
The use of chlortetracycline (aureomycin) as a biological stimulant for the nutrition of domestic animals raises hygiene problems for persons working in environments contaminated by this substance. The authors studied experimentally the relationship between urinary excretion of chlortetracycline and degree of exposure, and then checked the results found in 13 persons working in a livestock fodder production plant. Manifest antibiotic activity was found in 54% of the urine samples. The maximum values recorded correspond to a daily level per os of 20 µg of chlortetracycline/kg of body weight; 20% of the positive results correspond to a level of 1 to 15 µg and 79% to a level lower than 1 µg. |
