OBJECTIVE: This article views, collectively, the problems associated with darkroom disease, multiple chemical sensitivity and latex allergy. Each is discussed individually to establish a case definition. METHOD: Common threads and similarities are identified among the 3 conditions along with potential sources. RESULTS: A model is proposed to change attitudes among radiographers in individual departments to improve workplace safety. CONCLUSION: We propose the use of an established health education/disease prevention model to change the attitudes of radiographers toward chemical threats.
