Abstract |
In a Finnish ski-stick factory with 293 employees, several persons had skin symptoms compatible with contact allergy. Epoxy resin proved to be the only potential allergen in the working environment. The results of the study point to the important rôle of ski-stick saw dust as the source of sensitizing, partly cured epoxy resin. The study also showed that not only hardeners, but also epoxy resin can cause immediate type of allergy.
