Abstract
Exposure to rosin during a variety of uses has been associated with dermal and pulmonary sensitization. Oxidized resin acids are present in many rosin products, and have been regarded as the main sensitizing rosin compounds in cases of dermal sensitization. This research describes oxidized resin acids identified in aerosol produced during soldering with rosin core solder. Oxidized resin acids found were 7-oxodehydroabietic acid, 15-hydroxydehydroabietic acid, and 7-hydroxydehydroabietic acid. The presence of oxidized compounds known to be dermal sensitizers in aerosol from rosin flux soldering supports the hypothesis that resin acid compounds are pulmonary sensitizers as previously proposed. Changes in the composition of resin acid aerosol derived from heated rosin core solder (compared with the parent material) are described.
