    Author: Cipolla C, Belisario A, Sassi C, Nucci MC, Palermo A, Pescarelli A, Solina G, Raffi GB.
    Journal: Arh Hig Rada Toksikol; 1997 Jun; 48(2):205-9. PubMed ID: 9434432.
    Abstract:
    The authors described two cases of airborne contact dermatitis caused by 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP 100) in two subjects with periorbital erythema and itching skin. The AMP 100 has been used to replace ammonia as a hair dye component in the cosmetic industry with the purpose to eliminate its smell. Patch tests proved positive only to dilutions of 10% and 20% in the two described patients, as well as in other six asymptomatic subjects operating in the same working environment. The authors have diagnosed an irritative airborne contact dermatitis by AMP 100.
