[Assessment of chemical risk according to the D.L. vo 25/2002 in the goldsmith craft industry].
In the last year, various companies of the goldsmith handicraft field have been inquired. These factories are in an area of the Caserta territory. Scope of that job was to apply the method for the chemical risk assessment previewed by D.L.vo 25/2002, using the scheme proposed by Work Minister--General Directorate-Work condition protection. In particular, it has been estimated biological and environmental expositions concerned several chemical metallic agents: Au, Ag, Cu, Zn, Cd, In, Co and Pd. Moreover, it has been focused the attention on the biological and environmental monitoring of Ag, because there are a good correlation between environmental and urinary doses. The analyses have been carried out using atomic absorption techniques. It turns out to you evidence that environmental and biological silver values are often under the detection limit of the method. Therefore, concerning the chemical risk assessment of the investigated factories, it is possible to conclude that: "the potential chemical risk has to be considered moderate".
