Skin diseases caused by vanadium and its compounds

Introduction

Introduction to skin diseases caused by vanadium and its compounds Industrial application: Vanadium is a rare metal with a high melting point (1710 ° C) and is mainly used in the industry for the manufacture of iron-vanadium alloys. Vanadium-bearing ore can be contacted with vanadium dust during mining, crushing and packaging; V2O5 is used as a catalyst and there is also a chance to contact it. The heavy oil after fractionation of petroleum contains a large amount of vanadium, and the oil burner can be contacted with vanadium oxide during cleaning. basic knowledge The proportion of illness: 0.025% Susceptible people: no special people Mode of infection: non-infectious Complications: urticaria

Cause

The cause of skin diseases caused by vanadium and its compounds

(1) Causes of the disease

Exposure to vanadium and its dust, or vanadium oxides, causes changes in hematopoiesis, respiration, nervous system and substance metabolism, and can also cause significant irritation to the skin, even allergic reactions.

(two) pathogenesis

Vanadium compounds are poisons that have multiple effects on the body. In addition to causing changes in hematopoiesis, respiration, nervous system and substance metabolism, they can also cause obvious irritation to the skin, and even allergic reactions.

Prevention

Prevention of skin diseases caused by vanadium and its compounds

Enhance personal protection, including wearing long rubber gloves, long boots, long aprons, protective glasses, masks, etc.

Complication

Skin disease complications caused by vanadium and its compounds Complications urticaria

Urticaria; vanadium poisoning.

Symptom

Symptoms of skin diseases caused by vanadium and its compounds Common symptoms Similar to the skin of urticaria...

It mainly occurs in exposed parts such as face, neck and upper limbs. Vanadium can reduce the content of cystine in hair and nails of production personnel.

A 1% sodium vanadate aqueous solution was used as a skin patch test and was positive.

Examine

Examination of skin diseases caused by vanadium and its compounds

There is currently no description of the content and it is checked according to the doctor's instructions.

Diagnosis

Diagnostic identification of skin diseases caused by vanadium and its compounds

Vanadium mainly occurs in exposed parts such as the neck and upper limbs, which can reduce the cystine content in the hair nails of the production personnel. The 1% sodium vanadate aqueous solution is used for skin patch test.
