Abstract: | The authors study the statistical distribution and the graphical representation of the urinary chromium values investigated during three consecutive years in three work environments of a same plant: polishing 1 degree, electrotyping, polishing 2 degrees, to evaluate the environmental situations of exposure and their variations. The adopted method, based on the graphical representation of the values in logarithmic coordinate paper, allows to quickly and carefully calculate the percent of the workers having urinary chromium values above the prefixed limits. |
