Occupational diseases among welders include asthma, acute keratoconjunctivitis, and various skin disorders. A localized cutaneous erythema from UVC radiation is common and does not generally constitute any problem, as its cause is obvious to the welder, the symptoms are slight, and it is transient. In this report a welder with UVC-induced erythema on the cheeks is described. Initially, neither the worker, the physician at the factory, nor ourselves suspected a UVC erythema. Extensive investigations, including factor visits with measurements of UVA, UVB, and UVC irradiance during welding, revealed the cause of the dermatitis to be UVC, most likely reflected from a textile hood used to prevent exposure to dirt.
焊工的职业病包括哮喘、急性角结膜炎和各种皮肤疾病。因紫外线C辐射导致的局部皮肤红斑很常见,一般不构成任何问题,因为其病因对焊工来说显而易见,症状轻微,且是短暂的。本报告描述了一名脸颊出现紫外线C诱发红斑的焊工。起初,工人、工厂医生以及我们自己都未怀疑是紫外线C红斑。经过广泛调查,包括实地走访并在焊接过程中测量紫外线A、紫外线B和紫外线C辐照度,发现皮炎的病因是紫外线C,很可能是由用于防止接触污垢的纺织面罩反射所致。
