ABSTRACT
Statistical analyses were made on a total of 242 clinical cases of skin disordersfrom agricultural chemicals in Japanese farmers, using data recorded by physicians on standard forms in 41 hospitals and other medical institutions during the 1982-89 period. The majority of the cases were acute dermatitis (72.3%), followed by chronic dermatitis (19.0%), chemical burns (7.4%) and photosensitive dermatitis (2.1%). Organophosporus insecticides were the most frequent inducer of occupational skin lesions (24.8%), followed by sulfur fungicides (20.7%), polyhaloalkylthio-fungicides (16.1%), and soil disinfectants (7.9%). Main factors contributing to the onset of skin lesions were insufficient clothing on the part of users (46.7%), carelessness (21.9%), unsuitable weather (strong wind) (9.9%) and so forth. Epidemiological features such as sex, age, season, complications, affected sites and prognoses were also analyzed and discussed.
