Abstract

This pilot study was conducted to identify the metals used by home-based Native American jewelry makers, to quantify the metals in dust samples taken from jewelers' homes, and to compare these concentrations with background levels from control homes in which jewelry was not made. Participants were recruited from Zuni Pueblo, New Mexico. Surface dust samples were collected from the work and living areas of 20 jewelers' homes, and from the living areas of 20 control homes. Silver, copper, tin, boron, nickel, zinc, lead, and cadmium were significantly higher in work areas than in living areas of jewelry-making homes (p < or = 0.02). Silver, copper, nickel, and antimony were significantly higher in living areas of jewelers' homes compared with control homes (p < or = 0.04). Ventilation measures did not effectively reduce metal concentrations in jewelers' homes; concentrations in nonwork areas remained elevated.

新墨西哥州祖尼普韦布洛（Zuni Pueblo）美国原住民珠宝制作之家的表面尘埃金属浓度。

这项试验性研究的目的是确定以家庭为基础的美国原住民珠宝制造商所使用的金属，对从珠宝制造商家中采集的灰尘样本中的金属进行量化，并将这些浓度与未制作珠宝的对照家庭的背景浓度进行比较。参与者来自新墨西哥州的祖尼普韦布洛（Zuni Pueblo）。从 20 个珠宝商家的工作区和生活区以及 20 个对照组家庭的生活区收集了表面灰尘样本。珠宝商家工作区的银、铜、锡、硼、镍、锌、铅和镉含量明显高于生活区（p < 或 = 0.02）。与对照组家庭相比，珠宝商家庭生活区的银、铜、镍和锑含量明显更高（p < 或 = 0.04）。通风措施并不能有效降低珠宝商家中的金属浓度；非工作区的浓度仍然较高。
