Abstract
Specific IgE antibodies against cobalt‐conjugated human serum albumin (Co‐HSA) were determined in serum samples from 706 hard metal workers who responded to a questionnaire on 17 physical and mental health practices. Hard metal (an alloy of cobalt) exposure resulted in significant (PP2.3; Phealthy lifestyle as well as discouragement of occupational exposure may be of benefit in reducing allergic disorders for persons with high IgE levels.Keywords
