Mercury levels in blood and urine and several nerve conduction velocities (CV) were measured in two groups of workers exposed to mercury (Hg) and in a reference group. Furthermore neuropsychiatric examination and psychological tests were performed. There was a significant mild degree of slowing of sensory CV, but no dose-effect relationship was evaluated on a group basis. The individual assessment showed in some cases hints of abnormal CV caused by mercury exposure. Significant correlations were found between duration of exposure and decrease of short-term memory. However there was no relationship in the case of the other psychological tests. In conclusion, results indicate that there are no disorders of central and/or peripheral nervous system function if the valid Biological Threshold Limit Values in FRG (50 micrograms Hg/l blood and/or 200 micrograms Hg/l urine) are not exceeded.
对两组接触汞（Hg）的工人和一组参照组工人测量了血液和尿液中的汞含量以及几种神经传导速度（CV）。此外，还进行了神经精神病学检查和心理测试。感觉神经传导速度有明显轻度减慢，但未在组水平上评估剂量效应关系。个体评估显示，在某些情况下有汞暴露导致神经传导速度异常的迹象。发现暴露时间与短期记忆减退之间存在显著相关性。然而，在其他心理测试中未发现相关性。总之，结果表明，如果不超过德国的有效生物阈限值（血液中50微克汞/升和/或尿液中200微克汞/升），中枢和/或外周神经系统功能无紊乱。
