Airborne allergic contact dermatitis caused by isothiazolinones in water‐based paints: a retrospective study of 44 cases

Abstract

Our series confirms that airborne allergic contact dermatitis caused by paints containing isothiazolinones is not rare, and may be severe and long-lasting. Better regulation of isothiazolinone concentrations in paints, and their adequate labelling, is urgently needed.
