Acute Respiratory Effects of Diaper Emissions.
|
PREVALENCE of childhood asthma has increased approximately 3-fold during the past several decades.[1] Epidemiologists have found links between asthma symptoms and the presence of wall-to-wall carpeting,[2] recent interior painting,[3] and formaldehyde and limonene concentrations in homes? We have reported asthma-like reactions to emissions of air fresheners,[4] colognes,[5] fabric softeners,[6,7] and waterproof mattress covers.[8] We report here several types of acute respiratory toxicity in mice breathing airborne emissions of certain brands of disposable diapers.
