| Abstract |
The author presents his own and other Japanese studies to determine the urinary excretion of these substances in non-exposed persons, so as to establish a set of normal values against which those obtained in exposed workers can be assessed. Daily and hourly variations in excretion are considered, and factors influencing the results for each substance are discussed. A close correlation was found between the dithizone and atomic absorption spectrophotometry methods for lead determination. The values considered representive of the Japanese population are: lead, <20µg/l; mercury, <10µg/l; cadmium, <5µg/l; fluorides, 1mg/l. All the papers referred to in the bibliography are in Japanese, some with an English abstract. |
