| Abstract |
In response to an inquiry into the causes of eruptions between the fingers and in the throat by an office employee working with carbonless paper, known skin irritating chemicals used in the paper are named. These include formaldehyde, polychlorinated biphenyls, zinc and nickel salts. In order to avoid health problems, such as burning eyes, throat irritation and dermatitis, it is recommended to ventilate offices well when working with such paper and not to store it at the workplace. It is also recommended that printers should be used instead of carbonless paper. |
