Título Comparative studies on the carcinogenicity of nickel, different nickel compounds and nickel alloys
Título original Vergleichende Untersuchungen über die Kanzerogenität verschiedener Nickelverbindungen und Nickellegierungen [en alemán]
Información bibliográfica Wirtschaftsverlag NW, Postfach 10 11 10, Am Alten Hafen 113-115, D-W-2850 Bremerhaven 1, Germany, 1991. 59p. Illus. 45 ref.
Resumen This study is divided into two sections. I. - Bibliographical review (in tabular form) of the carcinogenic effects on animals of nickel (Ni), nickel compounds and nickel alloys. II - Assessment, through animal experiments, of the carcinogenicity of nickel powder, and of six nickel compounds (chloride, sulfate, acetate, carbonate, subsulfide, oxide) as well as 3 nickel alloys. Highly soluble nickel compounds (Ni-chloride, -sulfate, -acetate) were very toxic but only weakly carcinogenic. Ni-subsulfide showed a lower toxicity but the strongest carcinogenicity of all tested substances (inducement of sarcomas and mesotheliomas in 56% of animals from 6mg Ni). Higher doses (25 to 50mg Ni) of two nickel alloys containing 50% or 66% of nickel oxide produced a carcinogenic but no toxic effect. 100mg Ni injected with a nickel alloy containing 29% Ni and 160mg of two iron oxides were not proven to be carcinogenic. Summaries in English, French and German.
