Skin diseases caused by synthetic resins and plastics

Introduction to skin diseases caused by synthetic resins and plastics Skin diseases caused by synthetic resin and plastics (syntheticresinsandplastics) refers to those who are engaged in synthetic resin and plastics in contact with synthetic raw materials, monomers and auxiliary materials. The clinical manifestations are acute dermatitis and chronic dermatitis. The skin inflammation subsides in about 1 week. . basic knowledge The proportion of illness: 0.005% Susceptible people: more common in the professional engaged in synthetic resin, plastic processing practitioners Mode of infection: non-infectious Complications: headache, nausea and vomiting

Causes of skin diseases caused by synthetic resins and plastics

(1) Causes of the disease

Synthetic resin is a polymer compound, which is formed by polymerizing or polycondensing a monomer of an organic compound. The commonly used synthetic resins are epoxy resin, phenolic resin, urea-formaldehyde resin, polyvinyl chloride, amino resin, etc., in solid state. Semi-solid, liquid present.

(two) pathogenesis

Contact with these raw materials, monomer, auxiliary materials can cause different degrees of skin damage and systemic symptoms, the cause of the disease can be irritating, or allergic.

Skin disease prevention caused by synthetic resin and plastic

Strengthen personal protection, improve working conditions, improve operation methods, and make the operation process mechanized, automated, sealed, well-installed ventilation, exhaust and vacuum equipment to reduce harmful gases and dust.

Skin disease complications caused by synthetic resin and plastic Complications, headache, nausea and vomiting

Dust that comes into contact with certain resins such as phenolic resin may have mucosal irritation such as pharyngitis, conjunctivitis, bronchitis, occasional headache, dizziness, unstable walking, nausea, vomiting and other systemic symptoms.

Symptoms of skin diseases caused by synthetic resins and plastics Common symptoms Dry skin pimples Itching Skin atrophy and pigmentation and hair loss

More common in professional synthetic resin, plastic processing practitioners, rare plastic products users, skin damage mostly in the eyelids, face, neck, arms and other exposed parts, consciously itching.

1. Acute dermatitis: more common in contact with epoxy resin, steam and phenolic resin, urea-formaldehyde resin, formaldehyde vapor in the production process of aminoplasts, erythema, face, neck, arm and other exposed parts may appear erythema, swelling , pimples, blisters, accompanied by severe itching, highly sensitive, can also spread the body, appropriate treatment after disengagement, about 1 week, dermatitis subsided, and then contact can be re-issued.

2. Chronic dermatitis: long-term engaged in epoxy resin, polyvinyl chloride, phenolic resin and amino resin operators, dry skin, keratinized, chapped, acne on the face, nail thinning, hair loss and pigmentation calm.

Examination of skin diseases caused by synthetic resin and plastic

Eye spots, face, neck, arms and other exposed parts may appear erythema, swelling, papules, blisters, accompanied by intense itching.

Diagnosis and diagnosis of skin diseases caused by synthetic resin and plastic

The skin of the hand appears dry, keratinized, chapped, acne on the face, and nail thinning, hair loss and pigmentation.
