Abstract |
Communication to the Swedish-Yugoslav symposium on pesticides (Milocer, Yugoslavia, 4-8 Dec. 1972). The results of comparative toxicological investigations of methyl, ethyl and methoxyethyl mercury compounds are presented. The differences in absorption, distribution and elimination of each group of compounds as well as the clinical aspects of poisoning are indicated. On the basis of prolonged field experience, the author concludes that occupational exposure to organo-mercury fungicides can be maintained within safe limits. This can be achieved by appropriate technical and medical control measures. |
