Mercury (Hg) and selenium (Se) levels were determined for erythrocytes, plasma and urine of 25 male and 29 female workers exposed to elemental mercury (Hgo) vapor. Interrelationship between the Hg levels and the Se levels was examined by the correlational analysis and the stepwise regression analysis. Indicators of Se status (erythrocyte Se levels, plasma Se levels and urinary Se levels) were closely intercorrelated; similarly, indicators of exposure to Hgo vapor (erythrocyte inorganic Hg levels, plasma Hg levels and urinary Hg levels) were significantly intercorrelated. Since plasma Hg level was one of the significant independent variables in determining the erythrocyte Se and plasma Se levels, Hgo vapor exposure was thought likely to influence the Se metabolism in workers. None of the Se status indicators were significant as determinants of the indicators of Hgo vapor exposure.
对25名接触元素汞（HgO）蒸气的男性工人和29名女性工人的红细胞、血浆和尿液中的汞（Hg）和硒（Se）水平进行了测定。通过相关性分析和逐步回归分析研究了汞水平与硒水平之间的相互关系。硒状态指标（红细胞硒水平、血浆硒水平和尿硒水平）密切相关；同样，接触HgO蒸气的指标（红细胞无机汞水平、血浆汞水平和尿汞水平）也显著相关。由于血浆汞水平是决定红细胞硒和血浆硒水平的重要自变量之一，因此认为接触HgO蒸气可能会影响工人的硒代谢。没有一个硒状态指标是接触HgO蒸气指标的显著决定因素。
