“…They are popular as they introduce many desirable qualities, such as increasing the lifetime of the treated surface, make cleaning easier, and making surfaces water-repellent. Waterproofing products are often formulated as sprays, as this eases application on large or uneven surfaces [ 6 ]. However, spraying also creates aerosols, in the form of tiny droplets, in the air during and after application as a direct result of spraying and overspray.…”

Waterproofing sprays can cause acute respiratory symptoms after inhalation, including coughing and dyspnoea shortly after use. Here, we describe two cases where persons used the same brand of waterproofing spray product. In both cases the persons followed the instructions on the product and maximized the ventilation by opening windows and doors; however, they still became affected during the application of the product. Products with the same batch number as that used in one case were tested for their effect on respiration patterns of mice in whole-body plethysmographs and lung surfactant function inhibition in vitro. The product was used in spraying experiments to determine the particle size distribution of the aerosol, both using a can from one case and a can with an identical batch number. In addition, the aerosols in the mouse exposure chamber were measured. Aerosol data from a small-scale exposure chamber and data on the physical and temporal dimensions of the spraying during one case were used to estimate the deposited dose during the spraying events. All collected data point to the spraying of the waterproofing product being the reason that two people became ill, and that the inhibition of lung surfactant function was a key component of this illness.

A 3‐year‐old, female, spayed, mixed breed dog developed progressive dyspnoea after exposure to waterproofing shoe spray. The dog developed severe hypoxaemia and hypercapnia, and was subsequently diagnosed with veterinary acute respiratory distress syndrome secondary to chemical pneumonitis. Mechanical ventilation was initiated due to respiratory compromise. Severe hypercapnia persisted despite aggressive treatment. Unfortunately, the patient experienced cardiopulmonary arrest non‐responsive to cardiopulmonary resuscitation. A postmortem examination was performed, revealing pulmonary haemorrhage, hyaline membrane formation and necrosis. These findings are supportive of a diagnosis of chemical pneumonitis secondary to inhalation of waterproofing shoe spray, resulting in acute respiratory distress syndrome.
