Abstract |
A literature survey revealed an increased risk of nasal cancer and lung cancer in nickel refinery workers. Epidemiologic and animal studies show that nickel carbonyl is the most acutely toxic nickel compound. Information on poisoning by other nickel compounds is limited, but allergic contact dermatitis is associated with nickel, both in nickel workers and in the general population. Women are more sensitive to nickel than are men. Kinetics of nickel compounds vary between the compounds. Topics: nickel carbonyl; nickel; health hazards; literature survey; lung cancer; nasal cancer; nickel and compounds; ore reduction; sensitization dermatitis. |
