[Skin lesions in metal working (author's transl)]. 1978

H Ippen

The results of inspections of several workshops, of examinations of patients with skin lesions, and of skin tests made with different cutting fluids have been compiled in a survey of the factors that may enhance the development of skin lesions in metal working. Some recommendations how to reduce the relatively small number of skin lesions which may however accumulate, are made and directed to the manufacturers of these cutting liquids, their users, and the individual worker.
