The concluded that there is sufficient evidence in nickel production enterprise in this study in China humans associating exposure to nickel compounds was established in 1958, and today is the third with risk of lung cancer and sinonasal cancer. This largest nickel and second leading cobalt mine in study confirmed a significant exces
