[Evaluation of exposure to metallic mercury following the measurement of mercury vapor concentration in air of the working zone where acetic aldehyde and chlorine are produced].
The analysis of mercury vapour concentrations in the working zone indicated considerable variations in full shift measurements--from 1/10 MAC to over 3 MAC at the acetic aldehyde production and 40 MAC at the chlorine electrolysis. Individual dosimeters were used in the sample collection and an absorptive ASA atomic spectometry with cool vapour attachment was applied for qualitative determination. The results obtained correspond, to greater extent, with observed high level of mercury excreted with urine than with data of stationary measurements taken in the period of even higher production.
