Contact dermatitis in printing tradesmen.

J R Nethercott, R Nosal

    Contact Dermatitis
    |May 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Contact dermatitis affects printing tradesmen, with allergic reactions often linked to ultraviolet-cured ink components. While prognosis is guarded, those sensitized to UV-cured inks may have a better outlook in the printing trade.

    Area of Science:

    • Occupational dermatology
    • Dermatology
    • Industrial hygiene

    Background:

    • Contact dermatitis is a significant occupational health concern in the printing industry.
    • Exposure to various chemicals and processes in printing can lead to skin conditions.
    • Understanding the specific causes and outcomes is crucial for prevention and management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the incidence and causes of contact dermatitis among printing tradesmen.
    • To determine the prognosis for printing tradesmen diagnosed with contact dermatitis.
    • To identify specific printing processes and materials associated with occupational dermatitis.

    Main Methods:

    • A 2-year observational study was conducted in Toronto, Canada.
    • 21 printing tradesmen diagnosed with contact dermatitis were evaluated.

  • Data collected included dermatitis type (allergic vs. irritant) and suspected causative agents/processes.

    • Main Results:

    • 67% of cases were allergic contact dermatitis (ACD), with 29% attributed to ultraviolet-cured ink components.
    • 37% of cases were irritant contact dermatitis (ICD).
    • Offset lithography was implicated in 18 of the 21 cases. The prognosis was guarded, particularly for those sensitized to agents other than UV-cured ink components.

    Conclusions:

    • Allergic contact dermatitis due to ultraviolet-cured ink components has a more favorable prognosis for printing tradesmen compared to other contactants.
    • Irritant contact dermatitis and sensitization to other agents often necessitate leaving the printing trade.
    • Offset lithography presents a significant risk factor for developing contact dermatitis in this occupational group.
