High impact information on Metallurgy

METHODS: Sixteen hundred ninety-five persons applying for employment at a single heavy industry plant without symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) were studied [1].
These results suggest that the effluents of many heavy industries (e.g. from a Soderberg aluminium plant) flowing in the St [2].
For this purpose, zinc, copper, chromium, cadmium, iron, nickel, lead analysis have been carried out in order to determine the accumulation of pollution in plants and soils resulting from heavy industry and vehicles around Bozüyük (Turkey) region which is close to highway [3].
As to occupation, the ratio of mine employees at the time of contraction of the disease (incl. retired miners) was 52.2%), other workers 14.6%--all stigmatized by an increased dust concentration in other workplaces in heavy industry [4].
The same parameters for air particulates from Pápa (a town of similar size without much heavy industry) were analysed and compared to those from Ajka [5].
