Abstract
The article presents a study on the inhalational nickel carbonyl poisoning in waste processing workers. Microbiological and toxicological investigations were conducted to seven patients for known pathogens and occupational toxins. The radiologic findings and clinical course of each patient, including autopsy findings of patients who died, were discussed. The study found an out-of-date chemical used during neutralization of nickel which was implicated as the source of nickel carbonyl poisoning.
