Abstract
Absorption across the skin has long been recognised as an important primary route of entry of toxic agents into the body. However, percutaneous absorption is complex, variable and affected by a variety of factors and still defies simple measurement. The rates of skin penetration are unknown for most liquids, solids and gaseous substances.
