“…21 Studies from workplaces found exceptionally high rates of ACD from ERS in aircraft manufacturing workers (56%) 7 and marble workers (45%) 22 , amongst others. Skin sensitization is also common amongst construction workers (up to 9.7%) and is caused by ERS present in cement and other building materials, 18,23 but is also frequent in newer settings such as the production of wind turbine rotor blades 15 and relining of old pipes. 13 It can also occur in unexpected settings such as microscopy of histological samples, due to the presence of ERS in the microscopy immersion oil.…”

Epoxy resin monomers, including diglycidyl ethers of bisphenol A and F (DGEBA and DGEBF), are extensively used as building blocks for thermosetting polymers. However, they are known to cause widespread contact allergy. This research describes a number of alternative epoxy resin monomers, designed with the aim of reducing the skin sensitizing potency whilst maintaining the ability to form thermosetting polymers. The compounds were designed, synthesized, assessed for skin sensitizing potency using the in vivo murine local lymph node assay, and tested for technical applicability using thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry. All the novel epoxy resin monomers had decreased skin sensitization potencies compared to DGEBA and DGEBF. With respect to EC3 values, which is the estimated concentration of a substance required to induce a 3-fold increase in sensitization compared to a control, the best of the new monomers had a value approximately 2.5 times higher than those of DGEBA and DGEBF. The diepoxides were reacted with triethylenetetramine and four out of the six novel monomers gave polymers with a thermal stability comparable to that obtained with DGEBA and DGEBF. The new epoxy resin monomers have the potential to replace DGEBA and DGEBF, leading to a decreased incidence of contact allergy due to epoxy resins, decreased healthcare costs, and an increased quality of life for those handling thermosetting materials.

“…The surface areas of the patient's fingers and fingertips were 607.0 cm 2 and 100.8 cm 2 , respectively. The working history showed that the patient had a total of 40 working days with SL5510 exposures over 265 normal operation days and 10 working days with SL5510 exposures over the entire abnormal operation days.…”

“…Occupational dermatitis occurred mainly in construction, electronics and painting industries [1][2][3][4][5][6] in previous studies but was not reported in the automobile industry before. The cases of allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) in these studies were mainly caused by exposures to epoxy resin [1][2][3][4][5] and related compounds [6][7][8][9] through direct dermal contact, but some studies reported that airborne chemical exposure could also cause ACD [10][11][12][13] .…”

Evolución y cuantifîcacion de los sensibilizadores más importantes en los cementos portland comercialesEvolution and quantification of the main sensitisers in commercial Portland cements Este trabajo se centra en la cuantifîcacion de los contenidos totales y solubles de cromo, níquel y cobalto presentes en los cementos comerciales españoles, los cuales pueden representar una contribución para poder establecer posibles limitaciones de estos elementos en futuras normalizaciones.Los resultados analíticos reflejan que los clínkeres son los principales responsables de la presencia de cromo soluble VI en los cementos comerciales. Este hecho podría estar indicando que la solubilidad del cromo (Cr III inerte a Cr VI soluble) estaría estrechamente relacionado con las condiciones del clinkerización. Por otro lado, no se ha encontrado una relación directa entre el cromo total y cromo soluble, lo que significa que los resultados analíticos son puntuales y en ningún caso extrapolables. La solubilidad del níquel y cobalto en agua es prácticamente nula tanto en las materias primas como en clínkeres. SUMMARYThe commercial Portland cements contain minor elements in their chemical compositions. The presence of these elements has a direct incidence in different aspects: rheological behaviour, reaction kinetics, environmental, etc. Some of them also have a negative effect on the human health; so, chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni) and cobalt (Co) are the main allergens present in Portland cements, causing of Professional Dermatitis in construction workers.The current study is focussed on the quantification of total and soluble chromium, nickel and cobalt in a wide range of Spanish commercial cements. These values can represent a contribution to the establishing of possible limitations or reductions of these elements in forthcoming standards.Analytical data show that clinkers are the main responsibles of the presence of soluble chromium in commercial cements. This fact could be indicating that chromium solubility (from inert Cr III to soluble Cr VI) would be closely related to the clinkerisation conditions. On the other hand, there is not a direct ratio between total chromium and soluble chromium; it means that analytical results are punctual and not any case can be extrapolating ones. Ni and Co solubility in water is practically negligible either raws as clinkers.PALABRAS CLAVE: alérgenos, cementos, dermatitis profesional. KEYWORDS: allergens, cements, professional dermatitis.
