| Abstract |
Ammonium persulfate is a component of hairdressing bleaches. 12 of 49 professional hairdressers patch tested with ammonium persulfate gave positive reactions, in contrast to 1 of 118 patients who were not hairdressers. 7 out of 10 of these 12 patients have since given up hairdressing. The stability of ammonium persulfate preparations in petrolatum or water was tested; about 24% of the initial amount of the compound degraded in 6 months. This suggests that preparations this old or older should not be used. |
