Abstract
No impairment of health was observed in 6 workers aged 43-63 yrs., who had worked with Sb for 2-13 yrs. Chest walls were thin but no respiratory disease was observed; upper arm was thin but hand clasp firm. Blood pressure was lower than for most engaged in manual work; blood, kidneys were normal; occasional skin irritation was observed. The marked daily Sb excretion in feces could be reduced by hygienic measures.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
