Allergy to Natural Rubber Latex: a Growing Problem

Annals of Medicine, 1994
Immediate, IgE-mediated allergy to natural rubber latex has recently been found to be responsible for contact and generalized urticaria, protein contact dermatitis, rhinitis, asthma and even fatal anaphylactic reactions. The proteins present in latex from the rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) can still persist in rubber end-products where they are ...

Natural Rubber Latex Aeroallergen Exposure [PDF]

The Annals of Occupational Hygiene, 2002
We read with interest the account by Sri-Akajunt et al. (2000) of their measurement of personal exposure to latex airborne allergens in three occupational exposure groups. We were, however, surprised to note that in citing Swanson et al. (1994) and Liss et al. (1997) they misquoted the units of exposure. Swanson recorded a range of 8–978 ng/m3; this is

Natural rubber latex/MXene foam with robust and multifunctional properties

e-Polymers, 2021
Low strength has always been one of the main factors limiting the application of foams. We acquire a natural rubber latex/MXene foam composite with high strength and versatility by adding MXene to the natural rubber latex. It is shown that natural rubber

Natural rubber latex allergy

Indian Journal of Dermatology, Venereology and Leprology, 2008
Natural rubber latex (NRL) is a ubiquitous allergen as it is a component of > 40,000 products in everyday life. Latex allergy might be attributed to skin contact or inhalation of latex particles. Latex allergy is an IgE-mediated hypersensitivity to NRL, presenting a wide range of clinical symptoms such as angioedema, swelling, cough, asthma, and ...
