Results and discussion
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Executive summary:
Some workers engaged in the production of melamine-formaldehyde products had dermatoses. The authors consider changes to be due to irritation. The source also mentions that there seems to be no sensitisation to melamine, at least under the conditions of utilising it in the plant.
