[Skin diseases and work disability in the Netherlands. 1. Results of a preliminary examination].
Based on official Dutch Government data a study was performed in order to define the relative importance of skin diseases in causing a short- or longlasting incapacity to work. At the same time it was investigated which skin diseases caused a longlasting incapacity during the years 1967--1974 in Groningen, one of the provinces of the Netherlands.

[Skin diseases and working disability in the Netherlands. II. Catamnestic study in 3 groups of patients with occupational contact eczema].
A follow-up study was performed of the medical and social condition of 164 patients with an occupational allergic contact dermatitis. A change of work did not always lead to an improvement of the dermatitis. A number of patients improved without changing their job. It is suggested that a change of occupation can only be advised to these patients if the causal allergen can be avoided completely by doing so and only by doing so; at the same time one must reckon with other aetiologic factors and the social situation after change of work. Moreover it is pointed out that patients who changed their occupation did hardly use the possibilities, created by the Dutch law, to obtain expert advice or to be retrained for another job at the expense of the community.

Occupational dermatosis due to a soil fumigant.
D-D mixture is a preplant soil fumigant. It contains dichloropropanes and dichloropropenes, epichlorohydrin and is known as a primary irritant. Three cases of untoward reaction to D-D are reported. By patch testing, the existence of a contact allergic sensitivity to D-D could be proved in one patient. The other two cases reacted negatively; they were probably of a primary irritant origin. Patch tests with compounds related to D-D suggest that the cause of contact allergy must be sought in the propene(s) fraction of D-D. In future cases of untoward reactions to D-D, patch testing appears to be necessary in order to differentiate between a contact allergic and a primary irritant reaction.
