Allergy to oil of turpentine has diminished largely due to the use of cheaper substitutes in many occupations. However, 2 particular areas still reliant on real oil of turpentine are those of the perfume industry and ceramic decoration. We report 24 cases of hand dermatitis in pottery workers involved in ceramic decoration, paintresses, liners, gilders, enamellers and a fine china painter, seen in a 6-month period following a change from Portuguese to Indonesian turpentine, of whom 14 were sensitive to Indonesian turpentine, 8 to alpha-pinene, 4 to delta-3-carene and 2 positive to turpentine peroxides. Previous reports suggest that delta-3-carene is the main allergen and reports of sensitivity to alpha-pinene in the absence of sensitivity to turpentine peroxide, in particular to the hydroperoxide of delta-3-carene, are few. Turpentine allergy continues to be a problem in the pottery industry and is more common than allergy to the heavy metals of the colours used in ceramic decoration. alpha-Pinene, an unusual allergen, appears to be the most common in our area. Reversion to Portuguese turpentine seems to have alleviated the problem.
由于许多行业使用了更便宜的替代品，松节油过敏现象已大幅减少。然而，仍有两个特定领域仍依赖真正的松节油，即香水行业和陶瓷装饰行业。我们报告了24例陶瓷装饰行业陶工、女油漆工、内衬工、烫金工、珐琅工和一名高级瓷器画家手部皮炎的病例，这些病例是在从葡萄牙松节油改用印度尼西亚松节油后的6个月内出现的，其中14人对印度尼西亚松节油敏感，8人对α-蒎烯敏感，4人对δ-3-蒈烯敏感，2人对松节油过氧化物呈阳性反应。先前的报告表明，δ-3-蒈烯是主要过敏原，而在对松节油过氧化物不敏感，尤其是对δ-3-蒈烯氢过氧化物不敏感的情况下，对α-蒎烯敏感的报告很少。松节油过敏在陶瓷行业仍然是一个问题，并且比陶瓷装饰中使用的颜料重金属过敏更为常见。α-蒎烯是一种不常见的过敏原，在我们地区似乎是最常见的。改用葡萄牙松节油似乎缓解了这个问题。
