On the combined effect of formaldehyde and monochloroacetic acid

Abstract

The issue of the combined action of formaldehyde and monochloroacetic acid is not covered in the literature. In this connection we carried out an outpatient and inpatient examination of 111 workers in the formalin workshop of a fur factory who had contact with formalin and monochloroacetic acid. 89% of those examined were women, more than half under the age of 40. The surveyed were ironers, anointresses, controllers and unskilled workers. There were 12 workers with up to 5 years' experience, 4 workers with up to 10 years' experience, 26 workers with up to 15 years' experience, and 33 workers with 20 or more years' experience.
