一组48人，其中40人和8人没有牙科银汞合金，分析其咀嚼前后的汞含量。呼出的空气样品收集在聚乙烯袋中，并将已知量的每种样品泵入汞检测器进行测量。结果表明，与没有使用汞合金的人相比，使用汞合金的人咀嚼前呼出的空气中汞含量更高。咀嚼后，前者的这些水平平均增加了15.6倍，而后者则保持不变。得出的结论是，在原位牙科汞合金可以增加呼气中的汞含量。
The expired air of a group of 48 persons, 40 with and eight without dental amalgam restorations, was analyzed for its mercury content before and after chewing. Expired air samples were collected in polyethylene bags, and a known quantity of each was pumped into the mercury detector for measurement. The results showed that examined subjects with dental amalgams had higher pre-chewing mercury levels in their expired air than those without amalgams. After chewing, these levels were increased an average of 15.6-fold in the former and remained unchanged in the latter group. It was concluded that in situ dental amalgams can increase the level of mercury in expired air.
