Carbon tetrachloride and dichloroethane are used in industry as solvents.

Recent data show that in the air of many enterprises and laboratories, such concentrations of mercury vapor are determined that are slightly (2-4 times) higher than the existing maximum permissible (10). This circumstance caused the interest of hygienists, occupational pathologists and toxicologists to the role of small concentrations of mercury vapors, although there was a widespread opinion about their harmlessness to the body (3).
