Epidemiology and etiology of nephelinosis

Nepheline toxicosis (NT) is an occupational dermatitis caused by a chemical substance from the group of acidic muretarates - nepheline and its sodium salt, contact with which occurs in industrial conditions during the processing of potassium and kainite ores. To obtain nepheline, oxidized potassium chloride grade A is smelted. Other professions associated with this production process are molten salt electrolyzers. When inhaling dust from sulfate fluoride II in the production of shlafrox, a dependent ore mass based on nephelines, the skin is affected by reactive dermatosis. The same mineral
