Overview
Contact eczema in metal cutters might be caused by additional substances of industrial liquids, mainly preservatives releasing formaldehyde. They caused the occupational contact eczema in 30 metal cutters. Grotan BK sensitized 15 workers, Bioban CS 1135 sensitized 12 workers, Palmetol sensitized 10 workers, Bioban CS 1246 sensitized 9 workers and Bioban P 1487 sensitized 5 workers. 15 patients were sensitized to 2 and 3 patients to 3 preservatives, respectively. 16 patients were simultaneously sensitized to formaldehyde.
Key words:
preservatives – preservatives of industrial liquids – preservatives releasing formaldehyde – formaldehyde – Bioban –Grotan – Parmetol
