Abstract |
Description of the skin structure and especially of the stratum conjuctum, which acts as a barrier, and considerations on the stages of pathogenesis in degenerative toxic eczema of toxic origin. The main part of this article gives information on preventive measures adopted in the West German forces: protective gloves, barrier creams (technical data, classification according to their composition and the harmful agents against which they give protection). Cleaning products are chosen for their efficacy, and this often leads to skin hazards. The importance of using nutrient cream after cleaning (to make up fat and water losses) is emphasised. |
