This paper presents an evaluation of the mercury levels found in a population eating principally fish coming from the Lake of Geneva. A good correlation exists between the blood mercury level and the amount of fish ingested weekly. Interpretation of the results shows that the threshold of fish comsumption should be about 1.4 kg per week and per person.
Recognition, evaluation and control of hazards were carried out in a typical case where chromium was the major pollutant. It was also emphasized that industrial hygiene is necessary in the prevention of occupational diseases.
Asbestos has become a pollutant of ambiant air and there is a lack of informations allowing a reliable evaluation of the health risk related to the levels of concentrations found in the community. Biological significance of short fibres, analytical methodology and permissible levels are discussed under the view of the future needs for research.
Determinations of urinary chromium on 26 workers from 6 chromium electroplating workshops are presented and discussed in relation with results of airborne chromium. Rapid apparition of chromium in urine after the beginning of exposure tends to show that urinary analysis are a convenient test for the biological monitoring of chromium exposure.
