  Methylisothiazolinone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Methylisothiazolinone or MIT, sometimes erroneously called methylisothiazoline, is a powerful biocide and preservative.
Methylisothiazolinone is an antimicrobial used to control slime-forming bacteria, fungi, and algae in cooling water systems, fuel storage tanks, pulp and paper mill water systems, oil extraction systems, and other industrial settings.
In 2002, there was an in vitro study of the neurotoxicity of MIT in the department of Neurobiology at the University of Pittsburgh.

 Common ingredient in some shampoos (methylisothiazolinone) stunts developing neurons of rats   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
An antimicrobial agent found in some shampoos and hand creams and widely used in industrial settings inhibits the development of particular neuron structures that are essential for transmitting signals between cells, according to a University of Pittsburgh study presented today at Cell Biology 2004, the 44th annual meeting of the American Society for Cell Biology.
Prolonged exposure to low levels of methylisothiazolinone (MIT) restricted growth of axons and dendrites of immature rat nerve cells in culture, apparently by disengaging the machinery of a key enzyme that is activated in response to cell-to-cell contact, and may have potentially damaging consequences to a developing nervous system, the researchers report.
Senior author Elias Aizenman, Ph.D., professor of neurobiology at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, became interested in MIT as an offshoot to his primary area of research on the mechanisms of neuronal cell death.

 Methylchloroisothiazolinone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It is also used in glue production, detergents, paints, fuels and other industrial processes.
Methylchloroisothiazolinone is known by the registered tradename Kathon CG when used in combination with methylisothiazolinone.
It can be used in combination with alcohols and other long-chain organics in compounds such as methylchloroisothiazolinone ethylparaben benzalkonium chloride or methylchloroisothiazolinone 2-bromo-2-nitropropane-1,3-diol benzalkonium chloride.

Your revitalizing daily shampoo might have been formulated to add volume and shine, but consumer watchdogs say the scads of chemicals used in cosmetics aren't adequately assessed for safety by either the federal government or the manufacturers.
Methylisothiazolinone -- shortened to MIT for obvious reasons -- is often added to water-based shampoos and hand lotions to prevent bacteria growth, said Pitt neurobiologist Elias Aizenman, the study's senior author.
There is mounting evidence that neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's or Alzheimer's could be exacerbated by exposure to chemicals in the environment, but there is little evidence about the potential effect on the brain of many commonly used substances, Aizenman said.

New systems may be introduced that are stabilised with other salts (copper) or contain the less allergenic fraction methylisothiazolinone.
Methylchloroisothiazolinone (and) methylisothiazolinone is the INCI name for the preservative and this is the name that must appear on cosmetic ingredient listing in the European and USA markets if a product contains it.
Therefore, it is easy to determine consumer exposure (qualitative) to the preservative from use of cosmetic products.
