Abstract/Summary
|
-
In 2018 the German Commission for the Investigation of Health Hazards of Chemical Compounds in the Work Area has re‐evaluated the correlation (EKA) between inhalational exposure to nickel and sparingly soluble nickel compounds (nickel as nickel metal, nickel sulphide, sulphidic ores, nickel oxide, nickel carbonate) and urinary nickel excretion. The update and evaluation of the available literature led to the conclusion that the EKA correlation could be confirmed for exposures in the range between 100 and 500 µg Ni/m3. An extrapolation of the regression equation to the low dose range turned out to be impossible for both formal and practical reasons.
