title: [Work in a humid environment as a conditioning factor in the genesis of occupation-induced dermatoses].
abstract: In a prospective study undertaken from 1980-1983 the risk of developing occupational eczemas among apprentices usually working in a wet environment was analysed. Investigations involving 305 volunteers from technical colleges revealed a marked increase of dermatoses in subjects occupationally exposed to wet conditions. The influence of water and detergents on the barrier function of the horny layer of the epidermis is discussed.
