E 14974. Routes of Metal Removal Fluid Exposure and Effectsof Overexposure4.1 Routes of exposure

31、 to metal removal fluids includeinhalation, ingestion, eye contact, and dermal contact. Thispractice focuses on exposure through dermal contact with thefluid, contact with residual fluid on machinery, parts orclothing, and in some cases contact with fluid mists, splashes,or aerosols.4.2 Prolonged or

32、 repeated dermal contact can cause dry andcracked skin, rash, redness, burning, or itching. Skin abrasionscan intensify the effects. Some metal removal fluids andadditives can sensitize the skin of affected employees, whichcan result in a response to very low levels of exposure. Thispractice defines

33、 dermatitis as an inflammatory response to theskin. Dermatitis can result from a wide variety of sources andprocesses. The most common origins are irritant or allergicresponses to a chemical or physical agent. Signs and symptomsthat typify the initial onset of dermatitis include: erythema(redness);

34、edema (swelling); pruritis (itching); and, vesicula-tion (pimple-like eruptions). In more severe cases, fissures(deep cracks) and ulcers (open sores) can develop. Thecondition is usually reversible when exposure to the causativeagent ceases. More severe cases can require more time andsome medical at

35、tention.4.3 Aerosols, mist, and vapors can contact and expose theskin as well as contaminate clothing.6Available from American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists,Inc. (ACGIH), 1330 Kemper Meadow Dr., Cincinnati, OH 45240, http:/www.acgih.org.E26930925. Significance and Use5.1 Use of th

36、is practice is intended to reduce occupationaldermatitis caused by exposure to the wet metal removalenvironment.5.2 Complaints of dermatitis conditions are often associatedwith exposures to metal removal fluid.5.3 Implementation of this practice and incorporation ofmetal removal fluid management pro

37、gram has the potential toreduce complaints of occupational dermatitis. Elements of aneffective program include: understanding dermatitis and asso-ciated causes; prevention of dermatitis and exposure to metalremoval fluids; appropriate product selection; good manage-ment of additives, microorganisms,

38、 and fluids; appropriateadditive (including antimicrobial pesticides) selection andadditive control; appropriate tool design and assessment andcontrol of metal removal fluid exposures including aerosols.6. Dermatitis and Associated Causes6.1 DiscussionDermatitis can result from a wide varietyof sour

39、ces and processes. The most common origins are irritantor allergic responses to a chemical or physical agent. Signs andsymptoms that typify the initial onset of dermatitis include:erythema (redness); edema (swelling); pruritis (itching); and,vesiculation (pimple-like eruptions). In more severe cases

40、,fissures (deep cracks) and ulcers (open sores) can develop. Thecondition is usually reversible when exposure to the causativeagent ceases. More severe cases can require more time andsome medical attention.6.2 Some examples of occupational dermatitis include:6.2.1 Irritant contact dermatitis (from i

41、rritant chemicals orphysical irritants)6.2.2 Allergic contact dermatitis,6.2.3 Folliculitis (oil acne),6.2.4 Dyshydrotic eczema,6.2.5 Keratoses,6.2.6 Eczema,6.2.7 Skin warts,6.2.8 Pigment disorders,6.2.9 Granuloma,6.2.10 Erythematous papules,6.2.11 Papulovesicles,6.2.12 Chronic lichenified,6.2.13 Fi

42、sssured palmar eczema,6.2.14 Discoid eczema,6.2.15 Psoriasis,6.2.16 Skin infections,6.2.17 Skin burns,6.2.18 Skin microtrauma and mechanical injury,6.2.19 Itchy nummular dermatitis.6.3 Dermatitis resulting from exposure to metal removalfluids is usually either irritant contact dermatitis or allergic

43、contact dermatitis. See Section 3, Terminology.6.4 Irritant contact dermatitis can be caused by two mecha-nisms, chemical and physical abrasion. Examples of a chemicalmechanism include metal removal fluid concentrates, higherthan recommended in-use metal removal fluid concentrations,high alkalinity

44、and solvents. Examples of physical abrasioninclude exposure to physical irritants such as metal shavings,turnings, or fines contained in the fluid from a malfunctioningfilter; fines in dirty shop rags; and hand washing with abrasivesoaps.6.5 Allergic contact dermatitis can be caused by exposure ofse

45、nsitive individuals to certain metal contaminants (for ex-ample, chromium, cobalt, or nickel) dissolved or suspended inthe metal removal fluid, or to certain ingredients, includingsome antimicrobials or odorants. Some workers are sensitizedto contaminants.6.6 Microorganisms can grow in all metal rem

46、oval fluids,often producing an unpleasant odor. Unless open cuts, woundsor severe dermatitis are already present, microorganisms whichcommonly grow in water miscible metal removal fluids are notfrank pathogens and are not normally associated with onset ofdermatitis.6.7 The greater the concentration

47、or duration of exposure toan irritant, the greater the possibility for skin irritation todevelop or for skin sensitization to develop in sensitiveindividuals.6.8 Consider activities outside work, such as gardening,painting, or car repair, which can contribute to dermatitis, wheninvestigating potenti

48、al dermatitis causes.6.9 Any material or activity that abrades the skin or removesnatural oils from skin can cause dermatitis or predispose skinto its onset. Environmental factors such as dry air, extreme coldand changing humidity, or idiopathic factors, such as normalaging, can also predispose the

49、skin to dermatitis.6.10 Folliculitis (oil acne) can be caused by use of straightoils without proper skin protection.6.11 Finding the cause of a workers case of dermatitis canbe a long laborious process. Detecting an occupational dermalcausative agent requires cooperation from the patient, the metalremoval fluid manufacturer, workplace management, and spe-cialized medical expertise.6.12 Poor personal hygiene both on and off the job caninfluence development of dermatitis.6.13 Dermatitis causation varies with worker populationdemographics.
