Allergic contact dermatitis from UV-cured acrylates is common in workers. This study identifies acrylates in Australian plastic banknotes as a new cause of allergic contact dermatitis in two individuals.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Toxicology
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) to ultraviolet (UV) cured acrylates is a recognized occupational hazard.
  • Acrylates are widely used in industrial applications, including coatings and adhesives.

Observation:

  • Two male patients presented with dermatitis on areas in contact with Australian plastic banknotes.
  • Symptoms correlated with the presence of banknotes in their pockets.

Findings:

  • Patch testing confirmed ACD to multiple acrylates.
  • Specific allergy to acrylates found in Australian plastic banknotes was identified.
  • This is the first documented case of contact allergy to acrylates in Australian plastic banknotes.

Implications:
