Official Title: Prevalence of Skin Sensitization and Dermatitis Among Epoxy-exposed Workers in the Wind Turbine Industry
Brief Summary:
The goal of this observational study it to learn about the prevalence of skin sensitization and dermatitis among epoxy-exposed workers in the wind turbine industry.
The main question it aims to answer is:
- What is the prevalence of skin sensitization and dermatitis among workers in the wind turbine industry who are exposed to epoxy?
Participants will be asked to perform Patch Test, which is considered the Gold Standard test for identifying the cause of occupational contact allergic dermatitis.
Researchers will compare the results of the epoxy-exposed group with those of a control group comprising non-exposed workers from the same industry.
This analysis will help determine if there is a higher prevalence of skin sensitization among workers exposed to epoxy.
