Dermal Exposures in Residences

Residential Exposure Assessment

  • 95 Accesses

Abstract

Dermal exposure is clearly an important route of entry for environmental materials not just into the skin itself (where undesirable endpoints may include dermatitis, skin irritation, sensitization or even skin cancer), but also into the body as a whole. Once an agent has passed this first line of defense and has entered the systemic circulation, it has the opportunity to produce effects in the rest of the body, such as liver toxicity, kidney damage, and cancer.
