Título Epidemiologic study of cadmium and lead in the hair of ceramists and dental personnel
Información bibliográfica Dec. 1991, Vol.34, No.4, p.423-431. 26 ref.
Resumen The cadmium and lead content of hair in 70 ceramists was studied, with a comparable group of 75 dental personnel used a control cohort. The median levels of both metals in the hair of the ceramists was significantly higher than among the dental personnel. Those ceramists whose studios were ventilated showed significantly lower levels of both metals in their hair. The use of protective masks or respirators was associated with significantly higher levels of cadmium in the hair of ceramists. A review of the literature on the subject is presented and the health significance of the results is discussed.
