Abstract
The results of a survey of urinary Hg excretion in 62 Area Health Authority (AHA) [United Kingdom] and 49 National Health Service (NHS) dentists and dental surgery assistants (DSA) are reported. Simple personal and environmental hygienic precautions may be all that is necessary to prevent a hazard to health from the use of Hg in dental surgery.This publication has 25 references indexed in Scilit:
