This review covers major health hazards from nickel exposure, including cancers, dermatitis, and poisoning. It also discusses current occupational health research and resources for further information.

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Toxicology
  • Environmental Health

Background:

  • Nickel and its compounds have diverse industrial applications.
  • Historical and global usage patterns of nickel are briefly discussed.
  • Understanding nickel's health impacts is crucial for worker safety.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the significant health hazards associated with nickel and its compounds.
  • To detail specific health risks, including cancers, dermatitis, and poisoning.
  • To provide an overview of ongoing occupational health research and information sources.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of historical and current scientific data.
  • Analysis of health risks linked to nickel exposure.
  • Identification of obsolete and current industrial processes involving nickel.

Main Results:

  • Identified major health risks: pulmonary and sino-nasal cancer (linked to obsolete processes), dermatitis, and nickel carbonyl poisoning.
  • Noted less established risks: asthma, pulmonary fibrosis, and acute poisoning.
  • Highlighted ongoing occupational health research and further information sources.

Conclusions:

  • Nickel exposure presents significant, well-documented health risks.
  • Continued research and awareness are vital for managing occupational exposure.
  • Resources are available for in-depth information on nickel toxicology and safety.
