[Cardiovascular arrest after inhalation of leather glue].

We are dealing with the rare case of a cardiac arrest of a 44 year old man, who has been using shoemakers glue. It could be proved in retrospect that the cause was the inhalation of trichlorethylene due to insufficient ventilating of the working place. The problem of this case was that at first the malign disorder of cardiac rhythm as well as the patient's state of coma did not provide any hint at the aetiology of the illness. By means of differential diagnosis we had to think of a myocardial infarction or a cerebral incident in the first place. Only by means of outside and self anamnesis could conclusions be drawn revealing a chronic poisoning at the working place. In particular an organic solvent, especially trichlorethylene as well as toluol was taken into consideration, the poisoning through trichlorethylene being proved conclusively. Other causes could be eliminated considering the clinical development and diagnostic parameter.

[So-called Monday leukergy in polishers of chromium-tanned leather].

The authors carried out preliminary leukergy examinations on Mondays and Fridays in 18 polishers exposed to chromium compounds at concentration of 0.1 mg in 1.0 m3 of air. On Mondays leukergy (X*-SD) was significantly higher and amounted to 27.3 +/- 11.4%. On Fridays leukergy amounted to 18.4 +/- 11.4% and it was not statistically different from that in the control group.

[Status of reproductive function and the development and health of children of female workers in the synthetic leather industry].

The study was undertaken to analyze the course of pregnancy and childbirth along with the state of the lactation function in 48 female workers occupationally exposed to dimethylformamide (DMFA) during 1-5 years of service. Physical development and health status of 48 children born to DMFA-exposed mothers were examined. It was demonstrated that DMFA had adverse effect on pregnancy and childbirth, characterized by a reliable increase of toxicosis rates, birth complications, manual elimination of afterbirth. DMFA-exposed females experienced weakening of the lactation function and some deviations in the development and health status of infants.
