The average for the preceding years was 5,000 cases. 14 cases of dermatitis and 2 of skin cancer (due to prolonged exposure to ionising radiations) were reported. The following chemical substances are listed among the principal causative agents: petroleum products (364 cases), plastics (269), chromium (98), rubber and chemical products used in the rubber industry (91), organic dyestuffs (64), etc. The 875 cases of occupational skin infection are broken down as follows: 715 cases of trichophytosis, 67 of milker's nodule, 74 of erysipeloid, etc. |
