The Problem of Skin Diseases in Workers Engaged in the Machining of Chromium Alloyed Steels,

Abstract

Eczemas which develop in workers who operate lathes and grinding machines for the machining of chromium alloyed steels with the use of a cooling emulsion are occupational and are conditioned by the sensitizing action of chromium, which is also confirmed by the development in them of increased sensitivity to chromium. For the prophylaxis of skin diseases it is necessary to incorporate the automation and mechanization of the cutting processes, and also the regular replacement of the working solutions of cooling liquids which are fed to the machines.
