Absts. S 3 * V 967 Research in Fungicides Results in Protectionfor Fruit Packers and Sorters against Dermatitis. J. L. Sealey. Occ. Health (USPHS) 12, 139-140 (Sept. 1952). A number of cases of "left arm dermatits" occurred among packers and sorters of apples and pears in plants in the Pacific northwest, where ' sodium chloro-2 phenyl phenate was used as a fungicide. Irritation of the eyes, throat, and nose was also reported. Investigation by the Washington State Board of Health showed that the use of protective clothing, frequent laundering, personal hygiene, temperature control of wash solution, and good ventilation successfully controlled the outbreaks of dermatitis and other irritation. Another fungicide, sodium ortho phenyl phenate, was found to cause less irritation and sensitization than the chloro compound. 968 Dermatitis Venenata Due to Potassium Undecylenate. S. I.
