Abstract

Individuals chronically exposed to mercury were experimentally evaluated to determine its effects on urinary coproporphyrin (CP) and delta-aminolevulinic acid (ALA). Blood and urine samples were chemically analyzed and the levels of mercury found were used as an index of exposure. No correlation was observed between urinary ALA content and any of the following values: urinary mercury, CP, pH, or blood mercury. However, a significant correlation between urinary levels of mercury and CP was found.
