Abstract

The purpose of this investigation was to estimate the total hair mercury of diseased people (not including patients of mercury poisoning such as Minamata disease). Hair samples were collected from 133 diseased volunteers in Tokyo and the surrounding areas from Oct. 1992 to June 1993. The total mercury concentrations in the hair of ordinary diseased people (atopic dermatitis, asthma, dementia, cerebral infarct, osteoporosis, hypertension and diabetes) were from 2.08 ppm to 36.5 ppm. Those values were considerably higher than that of healthy people of the same age groups. However, the uptake routes and the metabolic mechanism of high hair mercury concentrations in diseased people are not clear.

摘要

本调查的目的是估算患病者（不包括水俣病等汞中毒患者）头发中的总汞含量。1992年10月至1993年6月期间，从东京及周边地区的133名患病志愿者身上采集了头发样本。普通患病者（特应性皮炎、哮喘、痴呆、脑梗死、骨质疏松症、高血压和糖尿病患者）头发中的总汞浓度在2.08 ppm至36.5 ppm之间。这些值明显高于同年龄组健康人的值。然而，患病者头发中高汞浓度的摄入途径和代谢机制尚不清楚。
