Series Description: This series contains questionnaires and medical test forms for the Y-12 Elemental Mercury Study. Information on the questionnaires include employee name; social security and telephone numbers; date and place of birth; sex; height; weight; income; writing hand; education level; native language; symptoms associated with mercury exposure; medical and medication histories; psychiatric, beverage/drinking, smoking, and exposure histories; and neurological/motor skills tests. The questionnaire was created for a study of Y-12 mercury workers conducted by Oak Ridge Associated Universities, Emory University, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, the United States Public Health Service, and the Department of Energy. The purpose of the study is to determine the possible effects of chronic exposure to elemental mercury on human health, especially upon the nervous system. The study is still in progress (expiration date August 31, 1997). The participants were first contacted on November 1, 1994.
