Chemical burns


Chemical burns due to Kathon CG- an allergenic preservative in paint


Chemical Treatment

Acids, bases Water

Phenols Alcohol, PEG

Bromine, Iodine Thiosulfate

Chemical burn


Protect your skin!

• Wash your hands thoroughly after contamination

• Use moisturiser

• Use gloves but choose the right material

• Exchange gloves often

TOO MUCH WATER CONTACT WILL

DAMAGE YOUR SKIN BARRIER

Allergy towards rodents


Urticaria


Immunologic urticariaAllergy type 1

A fast antibody-mediated reaction to large molecules.

•Proteins from animal saliva, urine, dandruff.

•Pollen.

•House dust mites.

•Natural rubber latex

Occupational allergic asthma from small molecules that form

adducts with proteines in airway mucosa.

•Isocyanates in paints and polyurethane.

•Acid-anhydrides in polymer production.

•Acrylates in polymers. Dental technicians.


Skin prick test

Blood tests are also available for

most of the allergens.Ola Bergendorff May 2017

Contact allergy


Nickel Rubber additives

Allergic contact dermatitis


Contact allergens

• Metal salts: nickel, chromium, cobalt

• Electrophilic organic compounds, MW < 500

• 4000 known allergens

• Preservatives, fragrances, hair/textile-dyes, rubber

vulcanisers, plastic monomers, natural products,

pharmaceuticals


Contact allergens


Epicutaneous testings

”Patch test”


After a few days

”Reading” at day 3 and 7

Nickel: 15-20% sensitive to Ni(II)

Jewellery is the main exposure

Regulation (EU) 301/2014 content of Cr(IV) in leathermust not exceed 3 ppm.CONSUMER/OCCUPATIONAL

Annex XVII in 1907/2006 (REACH)In products intended to come intodirect and prolonged contact withthe skin the Ni release must not exceed 0.5 µg/cm2 per week after2 yrs of normal use.

In contrast, 17% of the concreteworkers suffered from chromatedermatitis during construction of the tunnel between England and France.

During construction of the bridges over Öresund and Stora Bält no one ofthe builders suffered from chromateinduced dermatitis.
