    Cattle Mortality in the Thane District, India: A Study of Cause/Effect Relationships (1996)

    Notes: Abstract. An unexpected mortality of more than 300 cattle was investigated near a metal recovery factory located in a rural area of the Thane district of India. The factory was engaged in reclaiming lead, aluminium, tin, and zinc from discarded lead storage batteries and soft drink cans. The environmental samples (soil, leaves, grass, slag, water, and sediment), human blood and hair and animal samples (blood, urine, peritoneal fluid, liver, kidney, cow dung, ribs, and femur), collected for analysis revealed toxic levels of lead, cadmium, and chromium. Clinical examination of factory workers and school children revealed cough, fever, gastric problems, abdominal pain, skin lesions (scabies), and blue line on gums. Histopathological examination of animal tissues revealed chronic pathology with lead inclusion bodies in hepatocytes and renal tubules. Based on environmental, clinical, analytical, and histopathological observations, the mortality has been attributed to toxic levels of metals in the body and the malnourished status of the animals.

    Urinary excretion of chromium and nickel among electroplaters and pigment industry workers (1977)
    Springer
    International archives of occupational and environmental health 40 (1977), S. 71-76 
    Details
    ISSN: 1432-1246
    Keywords: Urinary chromium excretion ; Urinary nickel excretion ; Metal poisoning
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: 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.

    Clinical studies in workers engaged in maintenance of watermark moulds in a paper mill (1992)
    Springer
    International archives of occupational and environmental health 64 (1992), S. 141-145 
    Details
    ISSN: 1432-1246
    Keywords: Watermark ; Mould ; Combined exposure ; Metals ; Xylene ; Health effects
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: Summary Thirty subjects engaged in maintenance and repair of moulds used for producing watermarks on paper were studied, along with 27 control subjects from the same paper mill. The workers were simultaneously exposed to copper, chromium, zinc, xylol, and fumes of sulphuric acid in the course of their work. The study subjects were investigated for clinical, occupational, radiological haematological and psychological details. The aforementioned combined exposure was found to be responsible for a high prevalence of symptoms pertaining to the respiratory system and higher nervous functions. Breathlessness (26.7%), expectoration (10.0%) and emphysema (10.0%) were significantly higher among the exposed subjects. The exposed subjects also showed lowered visuomotor coordination and delayed reaction to light and sound stimuli.
