Synopsis A certain number of hairdressing parlour employers have been taken to court because their employees allegedly suffered from lung allergies caused by the vapours from PPD (paraphenylendiamine) which allegedly developed when applying hair dyes. These conclusions may be reached if the specific hazards of the rubber and particularly leather and fur dyeing industry are extrapolated as is widely reported in literature, to hairdressing employees. The purpose of this study is to assess the actual exposure rate to PPD vapours of hairdressing employees during a working day, on the basis of the type and characteristics of the salon (small, medium and large), the number of dye applications per day and the chemical-physical characteristics of the oxidation dyes. The results prove that, even under the hypothesis of experimental conditions pushed to the extreme, it is not reasonable to speak of exposure to PPD through the lungs of hairdressing employees.
概要 由于据称其员工在使用染发剂时，PPD（对苯二胺）蒸气引发了肺部过敏，一些美发沙龙的雇主已被诉诸法律。这些结论可能是从文献中广泛报道的橡胶，特别是皮革和毛皮染色行业的具体危害推断出来的，并适用于美发员工。本研究的目的是根据沙龙（小、中、大）的类型和特点、每天的染发次数以及氧化染料的理化特性，评估美发员工在工作日内实际接触 PPD 蒸气的情况。结果表明，即使在假设的极端实验条件下，也不能说美发员工通过肺部接触 PPD。
