| Abstract |
Survey covering 293 technicians and students, 81% of whom handled acrylic monomers (mostly methyl methacrylate) daily without skin protection. Current hand dermtitis or previous local dermatological problem was reported by 17% of the respondents. Frequent contact with the monomers increased the rate of the self-reported dermatitis. The frequency of complaints among students increased with seniority. Preventive measures (gloves, better work practices) are discussed. |
