An attempt has been made to assess the possible occupational exposure to arsenic, lead, and mercury during the Bronze Age. Archaeological, metallurgical, and historical evidence is combined to form a picture of the potential toxic hazards. In the case of arsenic a definite picture emerges of the effect of toxicity as a useful material is abandoned for health reasons on discovery of an acceptable alternative.
人们已尝试评估青铜时代可能存在的砷、铅和汞职业暴露情况。考古学、冶金学和历史证据相结合,以勾勒出潜在的有毒危害情况。就砷而言,当发现一种可接受的替代品后,一种有用材料因健康原因被弃用,由此出现了一幅明确的毒性影响图景。
