[Allergic diseases in workers producing household chemical products].

The examination covered 143 individuals engaged into production of synthetic foaming and paste-forming detergents, cosmetic and hygienic aerosols. Polls, immunologic surveys and specific allergologic examination revealed that 40% of the subjects had immunologic disorders and allergies, and 72% of this share was occupied by the workers of the aerosol production. Skin allergic diseases were prevalent. The risk factors for allergic diseases could be traced to congenital propensity, joint effects of multiple chemicals. All the employees at placement should undergo specific allergologic examination by means of general set of non-infectious allergens and determination of serum IgE level.
