During February 2005-February 2006, six regional poison control centers in five states were consulted regarding 172 human and 19 animal (i.e., pet cat or dog) exposures to shoe or boot leather protection or sealant products resulting in respiratory illness. One product was associated with 126 cases of human illness and another product with seven cases. An ongoing investigation, begun in December 2005, is being conducted by the poison centers. The majority of cases occurred in Michigan, where poison control centers are collaborating with the Michigan Department of Community Health to further document exposures and adverse health effects from the products. Results of the investigation of the 150 cases reported during 2005 underscore the continuing need to assess the magnitude of the problem, evaluate the toxic etiology of the products involved, and determine how to prevent further cases of illness resulting from use of the products.
2005年2月至2006年2月期间，就172起人类和19起动物（即宠物猫或狗）接触鞋类或靴子皮革保护剂或密封剂产品后导致呼吸道疾病的事件，咨询了五个州的六个地区中毒控制中心。一种产品与126例人类疾病有关，另一种产品与7例有关。中毒控制中心于2005年12月开始进行一项正在进行的调查。大多数病例发生在密歇根州，该州的中毒控制中心正在与密歇根州社区卫生部合作，以进一步记录这些产品的接触情况和对健康的不良影响。对2005年报告的150例病例的调查结果强调，持续需要评估问题的严重程度，评估所涉产品的毒理学病因，并确定如何预防因使用这些产品而导致的更多疾病病例。
