Mercury exposure and cutaneous disease.

Human contact with mercury has been ongoing for centuries and was previously considered a legitimate means of treating different cutaneous and systemic conditions. Toxicity from this heavy metal may occur from exposure to elemental, inorganic, and organic forms of mercury. This article outlines the signs and symptoms of mercury poisoning and the different clinical conditions with assorted cutaneous findings.

Human health effects from accidental release of tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) at Seveso, Italy.

This paper is a progress report of the epidemiologic work carried out under the supervision of the Lombardy Regional Authority during the two years elapsed from the accident in a TCP-producing factory (ICMESA) in Meda (Italy), which resulted in the contamination of several towns of a large, densely populated area called the Brianza di Seveso with a total population of 220,000 inhabitants. A wide follow-up program is in progress in the Seveso area; it includes a clinical screening of the population living in the contaminated area and longitudinal and systematic health control of different groups at risk; a long-term morbidity cohort study has been also undertaken. TCDD exposure following the ICMESA accident resulted in an increased chloracne frequency. Neurologic examinations showed both signs of idiopathic subclinical neurologic damage and cases of clinically detectable idiopathic polyneuropathy in adults. A limited percentage of idiopathic hepatomegaly was reported to be present on clinical investigation; no information, however, is given on the criteria by which the hepatomegaly was investigated. Some alterations were observed in some exposed people in one or more liver tests (mainly transaminases and gamma-GT). So far, immunologic investigations, cytogenetic examination and embryomorphology analysis on cases of therapeutical or spontaneous abortions have not given abnormal results.

Mercury as a health hazard.

Pink disease has virtually disappeared since teething powders were withdrawn. We describe a case in a boy who was exposed to metallic mercury vapour. We discuss the potential health hazard of spilled elemental mercury in the house and the difficulties of removing it from the environment.
