Context and
objective:
Records of contact with mercury(Hg) exist for more than 3500 years and several problems related to the use of this element can be noticed. Considering inexistence of current reports about it, quality of life perception evaluation was studied in people chronically intoxicated by mercury in an industrial environment.Design andsetting:
This is a cross-sectional descriptive observation study. Information from 47 urban-industrial workers from lamps manufacturing in São Paulo, clinically diagnosed as intoxicated by mercury and currently followed by the Occupational Health Service of Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo, with average age of 41.7 years old, was considered.
