Effects of 5-chloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one and other candidate biodiesel biocides on rat alveolar macrophages and NR8383 cells.
Arch. Toxicol. 85(11) , 1419-27, (2011) Biocides are added to biodiesels to inhibit and remove microbial growth. The effects of 5-chloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one (CMIT), a candidate biodiesel biocide, were studied using freshly isolated rat alveolar macrophages (AM) and NR8383 cell line. CMIT ... |

Contact allergy to methylchoroisothiazolinone/methylisothiazolinone (MCI/MI): findings from a contact dermatitis unit.
Cutan. Ocul. Toxicol. 31(2) , 151-3, (2012) Several preservatives are currently allowed in cosmetic products in the EU. However, only a few of them are strongly represented on the market: formaldehyde, parabens, formaldehyde releasers and methylchoroisothiazolinone/methylisothiazolinone (MCI/MI). MCI/M... |
