The effect of biocide chloromethylisothiazolinone/methylisothiazolinone (CMIT/MIT) mixture on C2C12 muscle cell damage attributed to mitochondrial reactive oxygen species overproduction and autophagy activation

open access: yesJournal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, Part A
The mixture of 5-chloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one and 2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one (CMIT/MIT) is a biocide widely used as a preservative in various commercial products. This biocide has also been used as an active ingredient in humidifier disinfectants in South Korea, resulting in serious health effects among users.
