Popis
Shrnutí:Acrylic resin can cause irritation of the eyes, skin and throat, in addition to coughs and shortness of breath. [...]it includes chemicals in a list of specific health hazards as they are flammable and reactive.1 Prolonged exposure to the monomer can also induce contact dermatitis, a condition often experienced by dentists and dental laboratory technicians because of the high concentration of monomer that can cause irritation.2 In addition, acrylic materials have the potential to be harmful in the laboratory due to acrylic dust being inhaled and the noise and vibrations produced during grinding. [...]from the contents of Table 3, it appears that in 2014-2016 there were seven dental laboratories whose acrylicrelated workers were involved in an accident affecting the eyes, including: eye irritation due to the concurrence of acrylic dust, acrylic chips and monomer vapors. [...]individuals should be disciplined in donning appropriate eye protection. [...]surgical face mask are not classes as RPE and has no filtering efficiencies required for adequate respiratory protection.9 Manipulation of acrylic monomers in a room without good ventilation is not recommended as it is harmful to dental technicians, especially to their respiratory organ health. First aid kits or medicines should be provided and stored in a manner which avoids contamination by dust, moisture and other factors.
