Abstract |
Reports on airborne contact dermatitis are mainly published in the context of occupational settings. Hence, in recent years, dermatologists and occupational physicians have become increasingly aware of the possibilities of airborne sources of irritant or allergic contact dermatitis. However, their occurrence is still underestimated, because reports often omit the term "airborne" when referring to causal agents. For the present update, several leading journals were screened from 2000 to 2006, resulting in an updated list of airborne dermatitis causes. |
