After an account on wood working schedule and on the main and most noxious chemical constituents of these materials, we consider 55 subjects working in touch with wood, on whom allergological researches have been performed through skin tests and bronchial provocation tests. The sensitivity to wood dust have been found in 10 cases (18.2%), in particular towards woods of obece, lanan, mahogany and samba. Skin tests have revealed 1 positivity to balsam of Perù and 3 to isocyanate (TDI). The bronchial provocation tests have pointed out 1 positive reaction to Mansonia's and ramin's wood and 2 to TDI. The results suggest that the respiratory manifestations due to wood's dust on subjects professionally exposed, have to be prevalently imputed to exotic woods, even if the irritant factors assume a not minor importance. It is discussed the possible role of isocyanates in this pathology.
在介绍了木材加工流程以及这些材料的主要和最有害化学成分之后，我们研究了55名从事木材接触工作的受试者，通过皮肤试验和支气管激发试验对他们进行了变应性研究。发现10例（18.2%）对木屑敏感，特别是对欧洲白蜡木、紫檀木、桃花心木和桑巴木。皮肤试验显示对秘鲁香脂呈1例阳性反应，对异氰酸酯（TDI）呈3例阳性反应。支气管激发试验指出对曼森氏木和白藤木呈1例阳性反应，对TDI呈2例阳性反应。结果表明，职业暴露受试者因木屑引起的呼吸道表现主要归因于外来木材，即使刺激因素也具有重要意义。文中讨论了异氰酸酯在这种病理中的可能作用。
