    Area of Science:

    • Industrial hygiene
    • Dermatology
    • Environmental health

    Background:

    • Paper mills utilize slimicides to prevent microbial growth in wood pulp slurry.
    • Slimicides contain active chemical agents that can pose health risks.

    Observation:

    • Workers in a paper mill reported dermatitis.
    • The dermatitis was linked to exposure to slimicides used in the wood pulp slurry.

    Findings:

    • The specific slimicides identified contained bis-1,4-bromoacetoxy-2-butene and 2,3-dichloro-4-bromotetrahydrothiophene-1,1-dioxide.
    • These identified chemicals are known to be highly irritant and potential skin sensitizers.

    Implications:

    • Occupational exposure to wood pulp slimicides can lead to skin conditions like dermatitis.
  • Further investigation into safer alternatives and handling procedures for slimicides in industrial settings is warranted.
