Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Eight workers handling fiberglass coated with uncured epoxy resin, out of a population of approximately 130 workers, developed dermatitis of their hands and forearms. Four also had involvement of the head and neck. Epicutaneous testing established the presence of contact allergy to epoxy resin in six, and one worker had continuous sensitivity to cresylglycidyl ether. Workers handling the coated material after it had been heat-cured were not affected, even if they had had problems with dermatitis while handling the uncured coated fiber. |
