5. Cobalt in the hard metal production industry : exposure via inhalation and skin and the inflammatory response in human keratinocytes
Abstract : Cobalt is a strong sensitizer and can cause contact allergy upon both direct contact or from airborne exposure on the skin. In the skin, keratinocytes are the first cells to come in contact with the metal and will react and respond to the danger by triggering an alarm system resulting in an inflammatory response in the skin.
