المستخلص: Mercury is a well-known toxic element, whichcan be taken up into the human body in different forms, causing particular harm to the nervous system. Despite this fact, it is still used widely in industrial processes, with dental amalgam hospital one of the most pollution sources of mercury. Dental amalgam, which has been used for over 160 years in dental practice, consists of about 50% metallic mercury. However, most industries today use mercury-free processes, some dental hospital still use the mercury amalgam method, especially in less developed countries. The aim of this study is to investigate the level of mercury exposure to dental hospital workers in Libya (Benghazi dental college workers). Hair and nails T-Hg concentrations were measured in 7 dental amalgam workers (i.e., exposed group) and 8 unexposed people (control group) using CV AFS. The dental amalgam group showed T-Hg in human hair ranged from 1.65 to 10.81µg g-1and the mean value was 4.25µg g1 and in toenails ranged from 1.25 to 4.55µg g-1with mean value of 2.29µg g-1. T-Hg concentration in hair and toenails showed a higher significant correlation in dental amalgam worker group (r = 0.918, p>0.05, p = 0.17). However, hair and toenail Hg testing in community showed that 71.43 % of dental amalgam workersexceeded the WHO guideline concentration of 2.0 µg g-1. Moreover, hair T-Hg concentration in control group are significantly lower (p<0.05, p = 0.03) than those found in dental amalgam group.
