An outbreak of dermatitis in a car assembly factory is described; it affected 50 workers who handled rubber weatherstrips coated with an adhesive. The adhesive was found to contain para-tertiary butyl phenol (P.T.B.P.) formaldehyde resin. Of those patch tested 70% gave positive reactions to the adhesive and 65% to the resin. Improved methods of handling and personal protection succeeded in arresting the occurrence of dermatitis. Barrier creams gave no protection in these circumstances. The episode illustrates the different preventive control methods which have to be tried when dealing with a simple skin hazard which cannot be abolished.
本文描述了一家汽车装配厂爆发的皮炎疫情；50名接触涂有粘合剂的橡胶挡风雨条的工人受到了影响。发现该粘合剂含有对叔丁基苯酚（P.T.B.P.）甲醛树脂。在接受斑贴试验的人中，70%对粘合剂呈阳性反应，65%对树脂呈阳性反应。改进的处理方法和个人防护措施成功地阻止了皮炎的发生。在这种情况下，防护霜没有起到保护作用。这一事件说明了在应对无法消除的简单皮肤危害时必须尝试的不同预防控制方法。
