Abstract
A review. No cases of Se poisoning in man have been observed in the "toxic areas." A potential danger exists, however, and the marked increase in the use of Se in industry presents another hazard. Irrigation with water containing Se, e.g., from the Colorado River, introduces an additional problem of conc. of this mineral in the soils and the building up of seleniferous areas.This publication has 52 references indexed in Scilit:
