“…Reported data on the role of true allergy in these skin disorders vary widely from study to study (7,(9)(10)(11). As Hodgson has pointed out, the final dilution of sensitizing chemicals in MWFs often obscures the identification of the specific allergen (17).…”

The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and nature of dermatoses in a group of metal workers compared to a group of office workers.…”

We studied 150 metal workers occupationally exposed to metals and metalworking fluids (MWFs) to determine the prevalence and nature of contact dermatitis. 150 office workers were used as non-exposed control group. Questionnaires were administered to evaluate occupational and non-occupational exposure. All subjects underwent a dermatological examination and patch-testing with standard allergen series and MWFs used in the plant. Twenty-eight metal workers (18.6 %) presented minor skin disorders involving the hands (vs. only 2% of the controls), ten (6.6%) had major disorders (similar to the figure for the control group -5.4%), and 112 (74.8%) had no lesions, as opposed to 92.6% of the control group. Positive patch tests were found in ten metal workers: eight had major skin disorders (six to nickel, cobalt and chromium, one to nickel and cobalt, one to nickel) and the remaining two were asymptomatic (one positive for nickel and chromium, one for nickel). Among the controls there were three cases of positivity, all among asymptomatic subjects. Patch tests with MWFs were negative. The prevalence of dermatoses among the metal workers was significantly higher than that of controls (p < 0.01), and all cases of allergy in this group were provoked by metals themselves. In spite of the high level of automation currently used in the metal industry, the prevalence of occupational diseases among metal workers remains high. The most common disorders are those involving the skin, in most cases dermatitis provoked by contact with metalworking fluids (MWFs) and metals themselves. MWFs are oils or oil-based emulsions used for lubricating and cooling the cutting edge of tools, elimination of metal chips and refinishing the surface of the final product. The neat, or insoluble, oils used during the first part of this century, have been almost completely replaced by oil-in-water emulsions (l). The composition of these fluids is complex, and they often contain a number of additives (e.g., emulsifiers, preservatives, corrosion inhibitors, biocides, antifoaming agents, hard-water stabilizers, dyes, fragrances) (2). They may also contain contaminant metals such as nickel (3), chrome (4) or cobalt (5) that leak into the oil during use. All of the above substances can be irritants and / or sensitizers (6, 7), provoking various types of cutaneous symptoms mainly on the hands and arms.A few attempts have been made to determine the actual prevalence of dermatoses among metal workers (6,8) 0394-6320 (2000)

“…A clearly positive result obtained in 1/24 control persons was thought to be caused by excessive use of an anti-dandruff shampoo containing zinc pyrithione (De Boer et al 1989). Patch tests carried out on 230 metal industry workers with dermatitis on their hands or forearms revealed no reactions to a 1 % aqueous solution of sodium pyrithione (Alomar et al 1985). Likewise, in other patch tests (0.1 % in water, occlusive, 48 hours, reactions recorded after 48 and 96 hours) carried out on 115 workers with dermatitis on the hands, presumably a result of handling metal-working fluids, no reactions to sodium pyrithione were seen (English and Rycroft 1989).…”
