Recent studies provide evidence for significant and previously underestimated barrier damaging effects of repeated exposure to 60% n-propanol in healthy skin in vivo.We aimed to investigate further the cumulative effects of a range of n-propanol
Alcohol-based disinfectants and detergents are common workplace factors for irritant contact dermatitis (ICD).
