Abstract |
The conditions of the work, which was begun before the last of the refractory bricks had been removed from the furnace, and was therefore very dusty, and the contractor's men's conditions of hygiene during the 5 months on the job, are described. Results of patch tests in one of the 10 affected men (out of 36 exposed) are given. There is evidence for regarding the condition as an occupatonal primary irritant contact dermatitis. |
