[Animal experiments and clinical observations on poisoning with metallic mercury].
Albino rats of an own culture strain exposed to mercury were investigated electroneurographically. A disturbance of the motor nerve conduction of the ischiadic and the tibial nerve could not be established after one year. Workers exposed to mercury of two chemical plants of the district of Halle were examined neurologically and electrophysiologically. The motor nerve conduction was measured on eight peripheral nerves. The measuring values above all deviate from the normal value up to 10% more infrequently up to 20% or more.
