Itching erythema among post office workers caused by a photocopying machine with wet toner.
For two years the employees in a Danish post office complained of irritation of the eyes and the skin. The symptoms were of varying intensity and disappeared during absence from work. A photocopying machine using wet toner proved to be the cause of the symptoms. It has not been possible to ascribe the symptoms to specific chemicals.
