Summary The urinary excretion of chromium and nickel among workers of some small electroplating-polishing and paint-pigment industries was investigated to ascertain the occupational exposures to the two metals, used extensively in these trades. The workers were also clinically examined for any symptoms of metal poisoning. The excretion of chromium was very high in all the exposed subjects and that of nickel considerably high in some of the workers, compared to unexposed subjects. However, there was no definite co-relation between excretion of metals and the duration of the exposures, though most significant metal excretions were observed at the longest period of occupational exposure.
