Humidifier Disinfectant–associated Children’s Interstitial Lung Disease
American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2014 Abstract Rationale Beginning in 2006, epidemics of a fatal lung injury of unknown cause in children were observed in Korea every spring. A recent study demonstrated that this type of children’s interstitial lung disease (chILD) is associated with humidifier disinfectant use.

Mitochondria disease due to humidifier disinfectants: diagnostic criteria and its evidences [PDF]
Environmental Analysis Health and Toxicology, 2020 Humidifier disinfectant damages caused by the misuse of humidifier disinfects, such as polyhexamethylene guanidine (PHMG), resulted in chemical disasters in South Korea in 2011. About four million people were exposed to humidifier disinfectants (HDs) in the 17 years between 1994 and 2011.
