Abstract

Methods of determining the allergenic activity of volatile substances given off into the atmosphere from polymer building materials (PBM) are developed. To detect sensitization in experiments on guinea pigs, in vitro allergic diagnostic methods are used (the passive hemagglutination test, specific leukocyte agglomeration test, intensification of leukocyte pyroninophilia test). It is shown that prolonged contact with PBM can give rise to atopic allergic reactions.
