Content: Such dispersed chemicals include chromium, nickel, manganese, iron and arsenic. The heavy metals in particular cause nerve and body organ damage over long exposure periods and, in some cases, immediate harm if the exposure is heavy and concentrated. Direct Chemical Contact
Most of the chemicals associated with the auto body paint trade produce harmful and destructive results in direct contact with the skin. Cleaning solvents, when in contact with hands and arms, become absorbed into the skin and the bloodstream. These caustic chemicals produce the same ailments, reactions and diseases experience by inhalation, only on a slower scale. Such chemicals produce reddening of the skin, eye-watering, sinus problems, rashes, blisters and first or second-degree skin burns. Every auto body paint worker should use the certified safety equipment in his shop at all times. Such protective wear includes helmets or hats, thick coveralls, gloves, safety goggles, respirators or particle masks and steel-toe regulation boots. 00:00
