A total of 222 mercury-exposed workers in the Chlor-Alkali plant in Kuwait were investigated for oral and dental affections. The levels of mercury-vapor ranged from 566.6 microgram/m3 to 0.3 microgram/m3 in different parts of the factory. The periods of exposure varied from 1 to 11 years. Although the level of mercury vapor in the air and the period of exposure proved to be the main factors as regards the oral signs and symptoms, the oral hygiene condition and the individual sensitivity played substantial roles. Oral affections were found not to be due to allergy to mercury.
对科威特一家氯碱厂的222名接触汞的工人进行了口腔和牙齿疾病调查。该厂不同区域的汞蒸气水平在566.6微克/立方米至0.3微克/立方米之间。接触汞的时间从1年到11年不等。尽管空气汞蒸气水平和接触时间被证明是导致口腔体征和症状的主要因素，但口腔卫生状况和个体敏感性也起到了重要作用。发现口腔疾病并非由对汞过敏引起。
