This article reports the clinical findings in a work force of 30 individuals who were exposed to silver nitrate and silver oxide. Six individuals had argyria and 20 had argyrosis (deposition of silver in the eye). Measurements of blood silver levels were included as part of the examination. The results of this examination generally support the benign nature of argyria, although the question of silver causing a decrement in kidney function and night vision is not settled. Periodic slit lamp examinations as well as monitoring of silver air concentrations are necessary to assure that engineering controls are actually limiting worker exposure to silver.
本文报告了30名接触硝酸银和氧化银的劳动者的临床检查结果。其中6人患有银质沉着病，20人患有银质沉着症（银在眼部沉积）。血液银水平的检测作为检查的一部分。尽管银是否会导致肾功能和夜视能力下降的问题尚无定论，但本次检查结果总体上支持银质沉着病的良性性质。定期进行裂隙灯检查以及监测空气中银的浓度对于确保工程控制措施确实限制了工人接触银是必要的。
