Título Occupational dermatoses at a film laboratory
Información bibliográfica Feb. 1984, Vol.10, No.2, p.77-87. Illus. 43 ref.
Resumen A questionnaire survey answered by 103 of the 114 employees of a cinematographic film processing laboratory revealed that 43 of the employees had some exposure to chemicals in their work, and that 21 of them had dermatoses. Clinical examination and patch testing showed that 12 cases were due to contact allergy to one of the chemicals CD-2, CD-3, Metol or PBA-1. Tests with guinea pigs showed the isothiuronium salt PBA-1 to be a potent sensitiser. Two cases of lichenoid reaction to colour developing agents were also seen. Five types of protective glove were tested. CD-2 and Metol penetrated all 5, CD-3 penetrated thin polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene and latex, and PBA-1 penetrated none.
