“…(24) A number of human experiments and animal studies suggest that humans with normal respiratory function may be affected by exposure at or below this level and that the conditions of workers with diseases such as bronchitis may be aggravated by such exposures. (28,29,30,31) NIOSH recommends a ceiling of 1 ppm to protect workers with preexisting chronic bronchitis. ACGIH maintains a STEL of 5 ppm and a TWA of 3 ppm.…”

the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) received a request from the United Cement, Lime, Gypsum and Allied Workers Union Local 421 in Tulsa to examine possible health hazards arising from burning "high-sulfur" coal at the Martin-Marietta Cement Plant in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Of specific concern were exposures to sulfur dioxide (S02), carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), and hydrogen Sulfide (H2S). Two rounds of a mail questionnaire were sent out prior to a hazard survey October 22-23, 1981. During the survey employees were questioned about medical complaints and area samples were collected for sulfur dioxide, sulfates, sulfites, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, and hydrogen sulfide. Sulfur dioxide is being released into the plant environment from kiln exhausts escaping from baghouses. Workers have been intermittently reporting irritant symptoms compatible with sulfur dioxide exposure. Concentratrions of 502 measured in the kiln baghouses, kiln feed building, and on top of the raw silos were at 1.2, 1.8, and 1.7 ppm respectively. These levels are capable of causing irritation and acute bronchial airway changes, Levels of carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide were detected in the mobile equipment maintenance garage, but these measurements were below concentrations known to cause toxic effects.

“…Furthermore, as a result of the observation of 15 patients exposed to mercury vapour, the amount of mercury eliminated in the groups treated with either BAL or methicillin was similar. 17 As a result of the experiments cited above I decided to evaluate the chelating activity of methicillin as determined by the amount of excreted mercury in animals with prolonged mercury poisoning that were treated for two weeks with methicillin. Comparative studies were done with mercury poisoned animals treated with penicillamine (Cuprenil).…”

Studies were conducted to measure the effect of methicillin on the urinary excretion of mercury in rabbits poisoned for three months by mercury vapour. Simultaneously, studies were done to compare the quantity of eliminated mercury after treatment with methicillin or penicillamine (Cuprenil). The results show that the urinary excretion of mercury in animals treated with either drug was clearly greater than in untreated controls. Furthermore, the quantity of eliminated mercury after treatment with methicillin was significantly greater than after treatment with penicillamine.
