Risks of high nickel intake with diet

G D Nielsen et al. IARC Sci Publ. 1984.

Abstract

Food items with a high nickel content have been identified. The daily nickel intake for an average Danish diet is 150 micrograms/day. Calculations indicate, however, that the intake on special occasions may reach 900 micrograms/day, which may cause a flare of hand eczema in nickel-sensitive patients.
