J Hostynek, H Maibach,
323 pp., 2002.- Presents a comprehensive approach to nickel allergic hypersensitivity
- Provides a literature synopsis and the most current research on skin penetration by nickel salts and the metal itself brought in contact with the skin
- Complements NiPERA's mandate of promoting the health and safety of those exposed to nickel or nickel containing products in the workplace and general environment
- Discusses reactivity of nickel in contact with live tissue
- Includes molecular biology of nickel hypersensitivity
- Covers metallurgy of nickel and its alloys
Allergic contact dermatitis from nickel is a continuing and increasing health problem. Nickel dermatitis may occur in sensitized individuals following contact with nickel-containing items such as jewelry, zippers, buttons, and other objects; by nickel leaching from implants and prostheses; and following occupational exposures.
Although the most common of the health effects associated with exposure to nickel, the skin penetration of nickel and its compounds is poorly understood.
Nickel and the Skin: Absorption, Immunology, Epidemiology, and Metallurgy gives an extensive, updated review of major topics and new topics, and covers material progress in the field of nickel hypersensitivity.
Its content complements the mandate of NiPERA, the Nickel Producers Environmental Research Association, which is to promote the health and safety of those exposed to nickel or nickel containing products in the workplace and general environment.
Many books on the toxicology of metals discuss nickel and its alloys in general terms. This one provides you with in-depth information on the causes, diagnosis, prognosis, and prevention, all in one source.
Nickel and the Skin: Absorption, Immunology, Epidemiology, and Metallurgy provides a guide to the evaluation and treatment of what has become the most common cause of allergic contact dermatitis.
