114 camels were chosen from different areas at various distances from Assiut Super-Phosphate Factory. The affected animals showed various clinical signs of chronic sulphur intoxications. Analysis of camel blood sera were carried out to determine their sulphur contents, as well as their relations to serum copper, molybdenum, calcium, and inorganic phosphorus. Blood serum levels of sulphur were significantly elevated in animals at areas less than 2.5 km away from the factory while insignificant elevations were recorded in other areas. Blood serum analysis showed that blood serum copper level was significantly decreased in all the affected camels at areas up to 4 km. from the factory. Serum molybdenum levels were also elevated in the areas nearest to the factory. Blood serum calcium and inorganic phosphorus levels were not affected and remained within their normal physiological ranges.
