Hairdressers and barbers are among the top occupations to develop occupationally related nickel allergy. While nickel release has previously been detected in metal items in the hairdressing trade, metal items in the barber trade have not been specifically tested. This study screened for nickel release from metal tools in United States barber trade.
One hundred ninety-two metal tools from 12 barbershops in St. Paul, Minnesota, were tested with dimethylglyoxime test. An employee survey was conducted about each metal tool.
Nickel release was detected in 10 of 192 metal tools (5.2%). Items with nickel release included one of 57 scissors (1.7%), one of 32 trimmers (3.1%), four of 13 barbershop chairs (30.8%), three of six cape clips, and one of one nail clippers.
Nickel release was detected in items unique to the barber trade. These items should be considered when preventing and assessing occupational nickel allergy in barbers.
理发师和理发师是职业相关镍过敏的高发职业之一。虽然以前已经在美发行业的金属制品中检测到镍的释放,但理发师行业的金属制品尚未经过专门测试。本研究在美国理发师行业筛查金属工具中的镍释放情况。
用二甲基甘氨酸肟试验测试了明尼苏达州圣保罗市 12 家理发店的 192 个金属工具。对每个金属工具进行了员工调查。
在 192 个金属工具中有 10 个(5.2%)检测到镍释放。释放镍的物品包括 57 个剪刀中的 1 个(1.7%)、32 个理发推子中的 1 个(3.1%)、13 个理发店椅子中的 4 个(30.8%)、6 个理发围布夹中的 3 个和 1 个指甲刀。
在理发师行业特有的物品中检测到镍的释放。在预防和评估理发师职业性镍过敏时应考虑这些物品。
