Increased urinary excretion of selenium among workers exposed to elemental mercury vapor.
The content of selenium and mercury in urine was measured in 28 male workers exposed to Hg0 and in 21 unexposed male controls. The first group excreted significantly more selenium into urine as compared with the control group. No significant correlation between mercury and selenium excretion was found.
