“…The significance of the solitary thyroid nodules in this study of agricultural workers remains to be determined through further studies. Case reports of workers with allergic contact dermatitis (T-cell mediated process) (Nater et al, 1979;Kleibl & Rackova, 1980;Bruze & Fregert, 1983, Campbell & Forsyth, 2003 to EBDCs and ETU have led to several epidemiologic investigations on the potential immunologic effects in workers using or manufacturing EBDCs. A European-wide study (EUROPIT) was designed to evaluate the immune effects consequent to chronic exposure to EBDCs.…”

“…3,4 Several cases of allergic responses to exposure to dithiocarbamates have been reported in the literature. Campbell and Forsyth 5 , for instance, reported two cases of allergic contact dermatitis following contact with maneb and/or zineb. Apart from these specific allergic reactions, it has also been postulated that some pesticides may have a more general effect on the immune system, 6,7 but data are lacking and contradictory results reported.…”

Occupational exposure to ethylenebisdithiocarbamates in agriculture and allergy: results from the EUROPIT field study

et al. 2008

This epidemiological study was carried out to evaluate the possible association between occupational exposure to ethylenebisdithiocarbamates (EDBC) and allergy. The study was conducted in four countries in the European Union: The Netherlands, Finland, Italy and Bulgaria. A total of 248 workers exposed to EDBC and 231 non-occupationally exposed subjects entered the study. Exposure to EDBC was measured as urinary ethylenethiourea (ETU) in urinary samples collected at baseline and after 30 days of exposure. Several effect parameters were evaluated including questionnaire data on allergy, Phadiatop, a general allergy test, and specific IgE parameters. These data were also collected at baseline and after 30 days of exposure. Cross-sectional as well as longitudinal comparisons were made, adjusted for potential confounding factors. No association was found between exposure status, EDBC levels and allergic contact dermatitis, allergic rhinitis, food allergy or atopy as measured by the Phadiatop. The prevalence of skin irritation was elevated in the Dutch field study only and is more likely a result of plant contact rather than EDBC exposure. Occupational exposure to sunlight was noted to have a protective effect on atopy in terms of IgE positivity. We conclude that the EDBC exposure levels experienced in our field study are not associated with increased prevalence of allergic symptoms or allergy.
