Allergenic

Causes allergies

Allergenic refers to the property of a compound with the ability to bind with receptors on mast cells to induce an immune response in the host body. The immune response may range from rash or hives to sneezing or constriction of airways. Some cleaning agents, products, and other materials found in the facility may induce allergic reactions in some operators. There should be adequate environmental and health safety procedures and guidelines to reduce operator risk.
