The article focuses on photographic allergens. 277 material safety data sheets were obtained from Eastman Kodak Company for all chemicals used in their black and white, color, X-ray and microfilm developing systems. 16 potential allergens were identified in these systems. Of these only the first 8 are in the current Chemotechnique photographic series. 8 other chemicals in the current series were not identified in these systems. An additional chemical, sodium dichromate, was recently replaced by potassium permaganate in Kodak developer system cleaner.
