Urine monitoring of textile workers exposed to dichlorobenzidine-derived pigments.

Urine samples from 36 workers exposed to dichlorobenzidine (DCB)-derived pigments and 12 controls were screened for aromatic amines by a nonspecific colorimetric method and then further analyzed by GC/MS specifically for DCB and monoacetyldichlorobenzidine. Of the samples screened for aromatic amines, six (17%) of the exposed population and one (7%) of the control population registered positive (1.0 part per billion [ppb] or greater). One of the positive samples (5.6 ppb) reflected medication, and the remainder (1.1 to 1.8 ppb) were due to high urinary background. The specific analyses were negative (less than 0.2 ppb) for DCB or monoacetyldichlorobenzidine in all samples.

Textile chemical finish dermatitis.

Chemicals used on fabrics to improve 10 different performance characteristics have resulted in irritant or allergic contact dermatitis. The most significant problem is due to formaldehyde and N-methylol compounds to produce durable press fabrics. Little is known about incidence of finish dermatitis or mode and amount of transfer of chemicals from fabric to skin.

Sensitization experiments with textile dyes in guinea pigs.

Experimental sensitization of guinea pigs with 6 azo and anthraquinone dyes used frequently as disperse dyes for fabrics (stockings, pantyhose) revealed that the blue dyes were moderate sensitizers while the red, yellow and orange dyes were only weak ones. This was found to be in contrast with the order based on the frequency of observed allergic sensitization, which showed the yellow and orange dyes at the top of the list and the blue dyes at the bottom.
