This work was partially supported by a grant from the Research Corporation and by the Donors of the Petroleum Research Fund administered by the American Chemical Society. Early work was supported by the National Institutes of Health (GM 30147), while instrumentation and theoretical development have been supported by the National Science Foundation. Much work described stems from the research of a number of postdoctoral and graduate student co-workers, whose names are noted in the cited references. Many of the samples for special applications came to us as gifts or via collaborations with researchers from around the world, most of whom are also coauthors in the publications.

I am greatly obligated to my colleagues and associates at the National Institutes of Health who contributed experimentally, conceptually, and editorially to this chapter. Special thanks are due to Drs. L. A. Cohen, E. Gross, and W. B. Lawson. Dr. C. B. Anfinsen, National Heart Institute, and Drs. A. Berger, A. Patchornik, and M. Sela from the Weizmann Institute were extremely helpful in making unpublished material available prior to publication. To them and many other cooperative authors I extend my sincere thanks.

Funded by the government, the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) was set up as a Special Health Authority in the United Kingdom in 1999 and, as such, it is a part of the National Health Service (NHS). It was set up to provide the NHS (patients, health professionals, and the public) with authoritative, robust and reliable guidance on current best practice. Its key functions are to appraise the clinical benefits and the costs of those (health care) interventions and to make recommendations. Guidance is issued from each appraisal based on the clinical benefits,... 

The objective of this chapter is to put into perspective some of the current knowledge with respect to trace metals and their health implications. Potential adverse health effects of occupational exposures to trace metals are dis cussed cancer (arsenic, beryllium chromium nickel, and perhaps cadmium) chronic lung disease (beryllium and cadmium) neurologic and reproductive disorders (lead and mercury) and kidney disorders (lead and cadmium). Also discussed are the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) recommended standards for occupational exposure to several trace metals, the difficulty of establishing safe levels of exposure (particularly for carcinogens), and problems involved in identifying toxic components of trade name products. Special attention is given to the role of chemists to help protect the public health.
