Dermatitis in the rubber industry has diminished markedly in this century, but the problem still is the second most common occupational disease. Contributing agents include natural rubber, as latex concentrate or dry crumb, as well as the various additives used for conditioning. Primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention all have roles in reduction of incidence and severity of impairment. The choice of gloves and skin care methods must be based on a consideration of the efficacy of the materials and the environment in which they will be used. Careful attention to diagnosis yields benefits in treatment course and impairment reduction. Teamwork by occupational physicians, nurses, industrial hygienists, employees, and management is required.
本世纪，橡胶行业的皮炎已显著减少，但该问题仍是第二常见的职业病。致病因素包括天然橡胶（如浓缩胶乳或干胶粉）以及用于加工的各种添加剂。一级、二级和三级预防在降低发病率和损伤严重程度方面均发挥着作用。手套的选择和皮肤护理方法必须基于对所用材料的功效及其使用环境的考虑。仔细诊断对治疗过程和减少损伤有益。这需要职业医师、护士、工业卫生学家、员工和管理层的团队合作。
