... Thea Yort cit\ In 19S6, Fisher identified methylmethacrylate monomer as the cause of allergic dermatitis in four dentists and dental laboratory technicians who had come in repeated contact with acrylic denture materials, and this was also reported in one orthopacdic surgeon handling bone cement.. Methylmethacrylatc monomer does diffuse through intact surgical rubber gloves..

... Glove fingers were cut off intact gloves and filled with small amounts of powdered polymer. The tips of these filled glove fingers were immersed in glass vials containing monomer.
