Original title Kožné poškodenia pri práci s fenylglycidyléterom [in Slovak]
Bibliographic information 1984, Vol.36, No.4, p.121-122. Illus. 5 ref.
Abstract A small epidemic of skin damage occurred after the introduction of lubricating oils with the stabiliser phenyl glycidyl ether. Of 74 exposed workers, 16 developed contact sensitisation to phenyl glycidyl ether. After replacement of this oil with another one free of the implicated substance, no further cases of skin damage were reported.
