Résumé

Une enquête radiophotographique a été faite chez 596 coiffeurs (184 hommes et 412 femmes) professionnellement exposes a l'inhalation de laque capillaire nébulisée. L'examen a révélé trois tuberculoses pulmonaires circonscrites, une hernie diaphragmatique et une sarcoidose authentique. On n'a observé aucune atteinte respiratoire suggérant l'existence d'une thésaurismose pulmonaire.

Summary

Five hundred ninety-six (184 men and 412 women) hair-dressers have been submitted to a mass-radiophotography survey. Three circumscribed lung tuberculosis, one diaphragmatic hernia and one sarcoidosis have been disclosed. No evidence of thesaurosis appeared in the examined population. This result does not support the view ofBergmann et al. of the alleged relationship between hair-spray use and deterioration of the respiratory system.

Zusammenfassung

Röntgenuntersuchungen sind bei 596 Friseuren (184 Männer und 412 Frauen), die der Inhalation von Haarspray berufsmäßig ausgesetzt sind, durchgeführt worden. Diese Untersuchungen haben drei umschriebene Lungentuberkulosen, eine diaphragmatische Hernie und eine echte Sarcoidosis aufgedeckt. Man hat keine Lungenschädigungen beobachtet, die für eine Lungenspeicherkrankheit sprechen würden.
