The acid anhydrides are a group of reactive chemicals used widely in alkyd and epoxy resins. The major hazards to health are mucosal and skin irritation and sensitisation of the respiratory tract. Most occupational asthma caused by acid anhydrides appears to be immunologically mediated. Immunological mechanisms have been proposed to explain an influenza-like syndrome and pulmonary haemorrhage, but direct toxicity may also be important in the aetiology of these conditions.
酸酐是一类广泛应用于醇酸树脂和环氧树脂的活性化学品。对健康的主要危害是黏膜和皮肤刺激以及呼吸道致敏。大多数由酸酐引起的职业性哮喘似乎是由免疫介导的。已提出免疫机制来解释类似流感的综合征和肺出血,但直接毒性在这些病症的病因中可能也很重要。
