Subclinical psychomotor and neuromuscular changes in workers exposed to inorganic mercury
Am Ind Hyg Assoc J.
1975 Oct.
Abstract
Workers exposed to metallic mercury vapor were subjects for EMG, hand tremor and psychomotor tests conducted over an eighteen month period. Performance decrements in neuromuscular functions and psychmotor skills were found to be reversible and correlated with blood and urine mercury levels.
