Abstract
Chinese cabbage plants were watered with different concentrations of NiCl2 solutions and the effect on growth and uptake of Ni in the plants were studied. No toxic effect on plant growth was observed. A higher content of Ni was found in the plants exposed to more concentrated Ni solutions. Ni contamination and its clinical consequences [i.e., human hand eczema, of the pompholyx type, due to contact allergy and aggravated by oral ingestion of Ni] are discussed.Keywords
