Occupational exposure to nickel, cobalt, and chromium in the Lithuanian hard metal industry

Abstract: Background Metalworkers are said to have heavy exposure to metals, but the amount of released metal ions from alloys and deposition on the hands is unknown. Objective To analyze nickel, cobalt, and chromium in vitro release to the artificial sweat from nails and wire made of different alloys, and to test metal deposition on the fingers of metalworkers. Material and Methods Six different samples of nails and wire were kept in artificial sweat for 24 hours and one week, respectively. The metal release was determ… Show more

“…Only metal workers (4%) were patch tested positive to potassium dichromate. Analyzing the amount of Cr on workers' fingers by finger immersion method, 25 there are 2 types of workers: raw material operator and nail heaters who had the highest concentration of Cr left on their fingers. Those occupations involved direct and prolonged contact with hard materials that are usually covered in grease.…”
