  • Title: [UV cured acrylates--potent contact allergens in the occupational environment].
    Author: Frost P, Bonde JP, Mürer A, Thestrup-Pedersen K.

    Abstract:
    Allergic contact dermatitis is still an important disease in occupational medicine. Acrylic compounds are known to be potent contact sensitizers causing allergic eczema after occupational exposure. To illustrate the problem and the need for preventive arrangements the authors present an unusual clustering of allergic contact dermatitis in three technicians who produced hearing aids using ultraviolet cured akrylate compounds. All three technicians developed eczema on their fingers few months after introduction of the new acrylate compounds in the production. Skin patch testing with the products confirmed that sensitization.
