Abstract |
Urinary and plasma nickel concentrations were monitored for a week in 4 workers, along with nickel concentrations in the environmental air. Workroom air concentrations were 0.03-0.16mg/m3 nickel, mostly as soluble nickel sulfate. Urinary and plasma nickel were higher after the workshift than before, and correlated with air nickel concentrations and one another. Plasma and urinary nickel concentrations may be used as biological indicators of exposure to soluble nickel compounds. |
