Safety and Health Topics: Latex Allergy
Allergy to latex ("the natural rubber latex manufactured from a milky fluid that is primarily obtained from the rubber tree") was first recognized in the late 1970s. It is a "major health concern" especially for health care workers exposed to latex gloves. This site includes links to OSHA latex standards, background material, and sites discussing possible solutions. From the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA).
