摘要: Mercury (Hg) and Hg-containing products are used in a wide range of settings hospitals. Hg pollution control measures were carried out the pediatric ward hospital to decrease possibility occurring occupational exposure. Total gaseous (TGM) concentrations hair urine for staff determined before after had been implemented. A questionnaire survey performed indicated that little understanding appropriate disposal techniques not always leakage. TGM (UHg) 25.7 22.2 % lower, respectively, implemented than before, which effective. However, remained significantly higher background UHg group, indicating continued existence certain pollution.
