Abstract

In this chapter, we continue to explore the many steps involved in percutaneous penetration, the laboratory techniques providing the background for this knowledge, and the insights advancing our knowledge of chemical exposure risk assessment, exposure prevention and barrier methods, and postexposure decontamination. We address knowledge gaps to guide future research to guide our ability to minimize the harmful effects of hazardous dermal chemical exposure.
