Details on study design:
To find out the causes of increasing number of skin diseases, first of all we carried out a site inspection at the factory (working condition, working process, work places), then a dermatological health survey of all 26 workers was accomplished. 5% the test substance in petrolatum patch tested according to the standard series following the ICDRG guidelines. The application time on the back was 2 days. The readings were taken on the D3 and D4. The concentrations were chosen because of the advice by Fisher.

Results:
9 positive reactions from the test substance were recorded in 18 out of 26 persons with 3 fragrance allergy reactions in the 6 eczema patients.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The test substance was one of the main causes of allergic contact dermatitis and positive patch test reactions.
Executive summary:
