| Abstract |
Urine bromide concentrations were determined in fumigation workers to make certain whether this test can be used as an indicator of chronic methyl bromide-induced lesions. The concentration distribution curve for methyl bromide-exposed workers was lognormal, and its geometric mean was 9mg/1±1.95mg/l. For non-exposed workers the curve was normal, the mean was 6.3mg/l±2.8mg/l, and the 95% confidence limit was 10mg/l. In 122 out of 251 workers (44.6%), the urine bromide concentration exceeded 10mg/l (however, no clinical symptoms were observed). |
