Work and safety, 1-98: Chemical abstracts, health and safety science abstracts (in English;SerboMcroat)
The purpose of this paper is to introduce safety-at-work experts to the main sources, harmful effects on health and biological monitoring of occupational exposure to the toxic metals lead, mercury, cadmium, manganese, chromium and nickel. There are various sources of exposure to these metals in the metallurgical, machine and metal industry, electrical engineering industry, construction, motor and aviation industry, as well as in other industries, and to a small extent also in the organic industry. Special emphasis is given to the basic principles of biological monitoring and its advantages in relation to the monitoring of the working environment from the standpoint of health protection of workers. Characteristic biological indicators of exposure are critically evaluated for each metal. Biological exposure indices of the chosen biological indicators of exposure are determined, the implementation of which, according to the present knowledge and experience, should not cause health impairment to the workers exposed.
