The workroom air, work stations and all raw materials including adhesives and solvents were surveyed but no traces of mercury were found. Clinical observations and biological testing by others proved that one employee had mercurialism, but no traces of mercury or mercury bearing compounds could be found in the place of employment. It was concluded that this case of mercury poisoning was not work related.
