对接触元素汞蒸气的工厂工人的右尺神经进行神经传导测试。时间积分尿汞指数用于衡量暴露程度。工人与长期远端lavage有显着较高的尿汞浓度与正常lavage相比。尿汞浓度的增加和延长运动和感觉远端潜伏期之间建立了显着的相关性。元素汞可影响运动和感觉周围神经传导，其影响程度可能与时间积分尿汞浓度有关。
Nerve conduction tests were performed on the right ulnar nerve of factory workers exposed to elemental mercury vapour. Time integrated urine mercury indices were used to measure the degree of exposure. Workers with prolonged distal latencies had significantly higher urine mercury concentrations when compared with those with normal latencies. Significant correlations between increasing urine mercury concentrations and prolonged motor and sensory distal latencies were established. Elemental mercury can affect both motor and sensory peripheral nerve conduction and the degree of involvement may be related to time-integrated urine mercury concentrations.
