[A model study on air contamination at the stomatologic work place by use of the turbine].

Certain dental measures, e. g., the application of a turbine, an ultra-sonic hand-piece or a spray, produce aqueous, polydisperse aerosols which escape from the patient's oral cavity during treatment and contaminate the room air with micro-organisms from the oral microbial flora. An aerobacteriometric model study at a stomatological work place showed that the germ content of the air was significantly higher on days when the turbine was used than on days when it was not used.

Rare allergens - hidden sources of allergens.

Acceleration of technical development results in growing difficulties to trace allergens. In this respect rare allergens as well as hidden sources of well-known allergens not infrequently cause persistence of allergic dermatitis. Examples are presented for di-ethyl-ester of maleic acid, hydroxylammoniumhydrochloride, N-methyl-p-aminophenol, 2-hydroxy-3-naphtoic acid o-aniside and N-acetoacetyl-benzylamide.

[Porphyria cutanea tarda after uptake of lead--a case contribution to the etiology].

It is reported on a case of porphyria cutanea tarda. With the exception of a low risk lead exposure during work no etiological factor could be revealed. Body deposits of lead were established by means of Ca-EDTA provocation. After cessation of exposure which was suggested to be the cause the state of health markedly improved. Thus, compensation due to occupational disease was recommended to workers insurance.
