Poisoning From Aspiration of Elemental Mercury
Clinical Toxicology, 2006Mercury and mercury compounds (inorganic and organic) can cause acute or chronic poisoning. Acute poisonings, especially with inorganic salts, are widely described, but only sparse data are available on intoxication from oral elemental mercury. We report a case of elemental mercury ingestion followed by pulmonary aspiration of the elemental mercury.A ...

Elemental mercury in urine from workers exposed to mercury vapor
International Archives of Occupational and Environmental Health, 1982Elemental mercury (Hg degrees) in urine samples from workers in thermometer manufacturing factories was determined. In a factory in which the mercury level in the ambient air averaged more than 0.1 mg Hg m-3, the Hg degree concentration in the workers' urine ranged between 0.05 and 1.7 micrograms Hg 1(-1) and constituted less than 1% of the inorganic ...

Mobilized mercury in subjects with varying exposure to elemental mercury vapour
International Archives of Occupational and Environmental Health, 1991In a mercury mobilization test, 0.3 g of the complexing agent sodium 2,3-dimercaptopropane-1-sulfonate (DMPS) was given orally to 10 workers with moderate occupational exposure to elemental mercury vapour, to 8 dentists with slight exposure, to 18 matched controls, and to 5 referents without amalgam fillings.

Mercury–selenium interaction in workers exposed to elemental mercury vapor
Journal of Applied Toxicology, 1986AbstractMercury (Hg) and selenium (Se) levels were determined for erythrocytes, plasma and urine of 25 male and 29 female workers exposed to elemental mercury (Hg0) vapor. Interrelationship between the Hg levels and the Se levels was examined by the correlational analysis and the stepwise regression analysis.Indicators of Se status (erthrocyte Se ...

Intravenous Elemental Mercury Injection: Blood Levels and Excretion of Mercury
Annals of Internal Medicine, 1977The blood level and excretion of mercury was measured in a patient who injected 1 ml (13.6 g) of elemental mercury intravenously. The chest radiograph showed metallic densities delineating small pulmonary vessels. The patient had no signs or symptoms of mercury intoxication in the year after injection.

Massive Oral Ingestion of Elemental Mercury
Journal of Toxicology: Clinical Toxicology, 1993A 42 year old male, while repairing a sphygmomanometer, intentionally ingested an estimated 3 kg (220 mL) of metallic mercury. During admission, only tremor, irritability, forgetfulness and fatigue were noted. There were no obvious gastrointestinal or hepatic complications. Blood and urine mercury levels were significantly elevated.

Immune Thrombocytopenia and Elemental Mercury Poisoning
Journal of Toxicology: Clinical Toxicology, 1995Three cases of severe mercury toxicity occurring within a family are reported. Two cases of thrombocytopenia occurred in this family and represent the second such report in the literature of an association between elemental mercury toxicity and thrombocytopenia.

Sorption of Elemental Mercury by Activated Carbons
Environmental Science & Technology, 1994The mechanisms and rate of elemental mercury (Hg 0 ) capture by activated carbons have been studied using a bench-scale apparatus. Three types of activated carbons, two of which are thermally activated (PC-100 and FGD) and one with elemental sulfur (S) impregnated in it (HGR), were chosen to study the effects of surface area (approximately 550-1000 m 2

Elemental Mercury Poisoning in a Family of Seven
Family & Community Health, 2002Mercury poisoning in children is rare but may have devastating health consequences when exposure is unrecognized. Mercury occurs in three forms: elemental, inorganic, and organic. Elemental mercury (Hg(0)) vapor may become volatile following an accidental spill and may be readily absorbed from the lungs.
