چکیده
hazardous chemicals may enter the body by inhalation, ingestion, injection or dermal absorption. these exposure routes constitute the overall exposure burden on the body. most occupational exposure studies have focused on measurement of the concentration of air-borne contaminants and other possible routes of exposure are often overlooked. several studies have already highlighted the importance of dermal absorption. however, less development occurred in the assessment of dermal exposures to occupational and environmental contaminants compared to air sampling techniques. this paper intends to highlight the importance of dermal exposure and looks at the methods currently used for its assessment. advantages and disadvantages of each method in the context of occupational dermal exposure assessment are also outlined. dermal exposure models, as an easy-to-use and low-cost tool to predict dermal uptake, especially when few or no actual data are available, are also included in this review.

متن کاملConceptual model for assessment of dermal exposure.
Dermal exposure, primarily to pesticides, has been measured for almost half a century. Compared with exposure by inhalation, limited progress has been made towards standardisation of methods of measurement and development of biologically relevant exposure measures. It is suggested that the absence of a consistent terminology and a theoretical model has been an important cause of this lack of pr...
متن کاملAssessment of asphalt workers' dermal exposure.
We agree with McClean and his co-workers (McClean et al., 2004) that urinary 1-hydroxypyrene concentration is a useful measure of total absorbed dose of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Many occupational health studies have reported low correlations between inhalation exposures and urinary 1-hydroxypyrene levels, suggesting that other exposure routes (in particular dermal, but also inge...
متن کاملDermal exposure assessment in occupational medicine.
The importance of dermal exposure has increased during the last few years, mainly because of the reduction of respiratory exposure to toxicants. Pesticides, aromatic amines and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are considered to be the chemicals at highest dermal risk. In the occupational exposure limit lists of the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) and of many co...
متن کاملAccuracy of a semiquantitative method for Dermal Exposure Assessment (DREAM).
BACKGROUND The authors recently developed a Dermal Exposure Assessment Method (DREAM), an observational semiquantitative method to assess dermal exposures by systematically evaluating exposure determinants using pre-assigned default values. AIM To explore the accuracy of the DREAM method by comparing its estimates with quantitative dermal exposure measurements in several occupational settings...
متن کاملTask-based dermal exposure models for regulatory risk assessment.
The regulatory risk assessment of chemicals requires the estimation of occupational dermal exposure. Until recently, the models used were either based on limited data or were specific to a particular class of chemical or application. The EU project RISKOFDERM has gathered a considerable number of new measurements of dermal exposure together with detailed contextual information. This article des...
