理烫发业从业女工很多,接触化学刺激性物质频率极高,但对女工接触化学物质后正常生理功能改变情况的调查,迄今尚未见详细报道。为此,我们对主要成分为硫基乙酸,具有较强的生殖毒性的冷烫精使用后,对女工育龄妇女的月经、生育及一般健康状况进行了流行病学调查,报告如下。 There are a lot of female workers in the hot-ironing industry and the frequency of exposure to chemical irritants is extremely high. However, there is no detailed report on the investigation of changes in the normal physiological functions of women workers exposed to chemicals. For this reason, we conducted an epidemiological investigation on menstruation, birth and general health status of women of childbearing age after using the somatotropin which is mainly composed of thioglycolic acid and has strong reproductive toxicity. The report is as follows.
