Det ansl\u00e5s, at 46.900 arbejdere i EU er udsat for Ethylenoxid. Eksponering for Ethylenoxid sker hovedsageligt via ind\u00e5nding og indtagelse. Stoffet er carcinogent i kategori 1B og kan for\u00e5rsage leuk\u00e6mi, lymfoide kr\u00e6ftformer og brystkr\u00e6ft. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Eksponering er ogs\u00e5 forbundet med spontan abort, genetiske skader, nerveskader, perifer lammelse, muskelsvaghed samt nedsat t\u00e6nkning og hukommelse. Den flydende form af Ethylenoxid kan for\u00e5rsage alvorlig hudirritation, n\u00e5r eksponeringen er langvarig eller begr\u00e6nset. <\/p>\n

Hvor risici opst\u00e5r<\/h2>\n

Der er stor risiko for at blive udsat for Ethylenoxid af arbejdere inden for medicinsk service, trykkeriindustrien, industriel kemisk fremstilling, gummi- og plastfremstilling.<\/p>\n

Mere om stoffet<\/h2>\n

Ethylenoxid er en brandfarlig, farvel\u00f8s gas ved temperaturer over 10,7 \u00b0C, der lugter som ether ved giftige niveauer. Den har en h\u00f8jere massefylde end luft, hvilket betyder, at den let kan spredes p\u00e5 jordoverfladen. Ethylenoxid findes i produktionen af opl\u00f8sningsmidler, frostv\u00e6ske, tekstiler, reng\u00f8ringsmidler, kl\u00e6bemidler, polyuretanskum og l\u00e6gemidler. Den st\u00f8rste anvendelse af Ethylenoxid er som kemisk mellemprodukt i fremstillingen af ethylenglycol. Stoffet findes i mindre m\u00e6ngder i desinfektionsmidler, steriliseringsmidler til krydderier, kosmetik og kirurgisk udstyr. <\/p>\n

Farer, der kan opst\u00e5<\/h2>\n

Akutte virkninger og tidlige symptomer p\u00e5 eksponering for Ethylenoxid kan for\u00e5rsage \u00f8jensmerter, ondt i halsen, \u00e5ndedr\u00e6tsbesv\u00e6r, sl\u00f8ret syn, svimmelhed, kvalme, opkastning, hovedpine, kramper, bl\u00e6rer, hoste, \u00f8gede aborter hos kvindelige arbejdere, testikeldegeneration og lavere s\u00e6dkoncentration. Vandige opl\u00f8sninger kan give bl\u00e6rer p\u00e5 huden. Hurtig fordampning af stoffets flydende form kan for\u00e5rsage forfrysninger. Langvarig eller gentagen kontakt med Ethylenoxid kan for\u00e5rsage hudsensibilisering. Langvarig eller gentagen ind\u00e5nding kan for\u00e5rsage astma. Stoffet kan ogs\u00e5 p\u00e5virke nervesystemet. Langvarig eksponering kan for\u00e5rsage leuk\u00e6mi, lymfe- eller brystkr\u00e6ft. <\/p>\n

Latensperioden for Ethylenoxid-relateret kr\u00e6ft varierer fra ni til 20 \u00e5r.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hvad du kan g\u00f8re<\/h2>\n

Den mest effektive m\u00e5de at forhindre eksponering p\u00e5 er at erstatte med produkter uden eller med et lavere indhold af ethylenoxid. Hvis produkter, der indeholder Ethylenoxid, ikke kan erstattes, skal eksponeringen for Ethylenoxid reduceres ved hj\u00e6lp af teknisk kontrol. Installer f.eks. gnistfri ventilationssystemer og s\u00f8rg for \u00f8jenskyl og sikkerhedsbruser, hvis der er fare for kontakt eller st\u00e6nk. Udf\u00f8r l\u00f8bende korrekte eksponeringsm\u00e5linger, s\u00e5 man ved, hvorn\u00e5r der skal gribes ind. Unders\u00f8g, om arbejderne rapporterer tidlige symptomer. G\u00f8r l\u00f8bende arbejderne opm\u00e6rksomme p\u00e5 virkningerne af eksponering. Desuden skal du uddanne arbejderne i farer, sikker arbejdspraksis og effektive hygiejneforanstaltninger. <\/p>\n

For at beskytte p\u00e5 individuelt niveau skal arbejderne b\u00e6re beskyttelsesbriller og passende beskyttelsest\u00f8j for at beskytte huden til enhver tid i omr\u00e5der, hvor der er risiko for st\u00e6nk fra flydende Ethylenoxid. Alt t\u00f8j, der er blevet nedbrudt af Ethylenoxid, skal kasseres. Personlig beskyttelse b\u00f8r kun bruges som en sidste udvej, efter at man har introduceret de mulige tekniske l\u00f8sninger. Arbejderne m\u00e5 ikke spise, drikke eller ryge, mens de arbejder med Ethylenoxid.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","carcinogens":[4080],"class_list":["post-76929","fact","type-fact","status-publish","hentry","carcinogens-ethylenoxid-da"],"yoast_head":"\nEthylenoxid - STOP carcinogens at work<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Det ansl\u00e5s, at 46.900 arbejdere i EU er udsat for Ethylenoxid.
