HSP70 (HSPA1) polymorphisms in former workers with chronic mercury vapor exposure.
OBJECTIVES To investigate 4 loci of 3 HSP70 genes in caustic soda production plant former workers, who have been exposed to metallic mercury vapors for a long time, and including numerous cases of chronic mercury intoxication (CMI). MATERIAL AND METHODS Polymorphisms in HSP70 gene family members (HSP1A1 (+190G/C, rs1043618), HSPA1B (+1267A/G and +2074G/C, rs1061581) and HSP1AL (+2437T/C, rs22...
متن کاملHigh exposure of Chinese mercury mine workers to elemental mercury vapor and increased methylmercury levels in their hair.
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine the level of exposure of mercury (Hg) miners and smelter workers to elemental mercury (Hg(0)) vapor in China, who work in Hg mines without using protective equipment against Hg(0) vapor. In addition, the level of methylmercury (MeHg) intake by the workers was estimated from the MeHg concentration in their hair. METHODS Urinary total mercury (TH...
متن کاملRespiratory effects from industrial talc exposure among former mining workers.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate late respiratory effects from occupational inhalation of talc contaminated with asbestos. METHODS This was a case series study on 29 former talc mining workers with asbestos contamination, in the municipality of Carandaí, Southeastern Brazil, who were attended at the State Workers' Health Reference Center in 2004 and 2005. Their clinical and occupational histories were o...
متن کاملAssessing elemental mercury vapor exposure from cultural and religious practices.
Use of elemental mercury in certain cultural and religious practices can cause high exposures to mercury vapor. Uses include sprinkling mercury on the floor of a home or car, burning it in a candle, and mixing it with perfume. Some uses can produce indoor air mercury concentrations one or two orders of magnitude above occupational exposure limits. Exposures resulting from other uses, such as in...
متن کاملNeuropsychological dysfunction related to earlier occupational exposure to mercury vapor.
We assessed the neuropsychological test performances of 26 patients (mean age = 41.5 +/- 6.1 years; mean years of education = 9.8 +/- 1.8; 20 males) diagnosed with chronic occupational mercurialism who were former workers at a fluorescent lamp factory. They had been exposed to elemental mercury for an average of 10.2 +/- 3.8 years and had been away from this work for 6 +/- 4.7 years. Mean urina...
