Abstract | The report assembles, organizes, and interprets all available information on nickel and its compounds, presenting a balanced and comprehensive survey of its relation to health. It describes the natural sources of nickel and the production of nickel from its ores; its physical and chemical nature; its measurement; its relation to other pollutants; the manufacturing processes that use nickel; the recycling of nickel in the biosphere; occupational hazards from nickel; and community exposures and margins of safety. Information is also presented on experimental studies related to the metabolism, toxicity, carcinogenicity, and mutagenicity of nickel and its compounds. Recommendations for monitoring and controlling nickel in the environment are presented. |
