Patch testing results in Table I show that West Virginia has comparable rates of tested contact dermatitis allergens to the rest of the United States with exceptions of higher amounts of mercapto mix and potassium dichromate. Mercapto mix is a common rubber additive (9), and potassium dichromate is used in cement-based construction and chemical processing.
