Emission von Isothiazolinonen aus wasserigen Anstrichstoffen als Ursache fur gesundheitliche Probleme Nach Wohnungssanierungen

摘要

A 46-year-old woman presented with acute dermatitis, catarrh and cough, one day after returning at her freshly painted home. Patch test with isothiazolinones and with the wallpaint containing isothiazolinones as preservatives showed both positive results. After treatment of the painted walls with inorganic sulfur salt in or- der to inactivate the preservatives her symptoms disappeared without any relapse. Laboratory experiments with the wallpaint mainly showed emissions of chlorome- Thylisothiazolinone (from 16 to 1μg/m~2/h) over a period of four weeks.
