The isothiazolinone preservatives methylisothiazolinone (MI), methylchloroisothiazolinone (MCI), and benzisothiazolinone (BIT) are used in a wide variety of products including paint and cosmetics, and they are known to cause allergic contact dermatitis. Among painters they are one of the most common causes of contact dermatitis. Furthermore, they are all volatile, and severe reactions caused by...

There are several texts pertaining to Perisian painting which explain its aesthetics on the basis of mysticism and the notion of imaginal world. This point of view bears some methodological problems. Some of the prominent scholars (Corbin, Burckhardt, Nasr, Ringgenberg et al.) refering to Ibn ‘Arabi’s mystical notions, have tried to show that the specific aesthetics o...

BACKGROUND Subtle cognitive and neurological impairments have been found in some workers exposed to organic solvents. Whether these effects occur at or below current legal limits for occupational exposure is controversial. AIM To determine whether occupational solvent exposure is associated with neuropsychological impairment and whether such risk is modified by polymorphisms in the genes for ...

Several organic solvents (OSs) are potent carcinogens among population at risk. Their genotoxicity have important implications for cancer production. Genotoxicity could be related to lipid peroxidation with decrease of endogenous body antioxidants. This work included 27 car spray painters exposed to a mixture of mainly aromatic OSs and a comparable group of 27 males. For both groups, chromosoma...

Quantifying the exposure of construction painters to mixed organic solvents is difficult in the face of a lack of industrial hygiene data, the heterogeneity of the solvents used, and the variability in work practices which influences the amount of solvents to which a worker is actually exposed. This report describes an attempt to derive an estimate of airborne solvent exposure using questionnai...
