| Abstract |
Results of an epidemiological study in an Italian clothing factory between 1972 and 1978. Changes in the epidemiology, and immunological studies in 1979 corfirm the hypothesis that formaldehyde is a significant aetiological factor in the clinical disorders observed in clothing industry workers. It seems that formaldehyde does not act through immunological mechanisms but that its action is potentiated by a sensitisation to common allergens. |
