Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the percutaneous penetration of lead oxide (PbO) powder and the effect of rapid skin decontamination with two different detergents. Methods: Franz cells were used to study in vitro PbO skin penetration through human skin during a 24-hour period. The tests were performed without or with decontamination using either Ivory Liquid soap or a new experimental cleanser 30 minutes after the start of exposure. Results: We confirm that PbO can pass…

Percutaneous absorption of inorganic lead compounds.

It was concluded that significant amounts of inorganic lead compounds can be absorbed through the skin, and skin protection in lead-working or any contaminated environment should be carefully considered.

In vitro percutaneous absorption of cobalt

The experiments show that cobalt powder can pass through the skin when applied as a dispersion in synthetic sweat, oxidising metallic cobalt into ions, which permeate the skin.

The removal of the stratum corneum by stripping the skin with cellophane tape was the most effective method for enhancing absorption and the greatest increases in penetration were obtained with the compounds that were most poorly absorbed.

It is indicated that parenteral intake from hand and mouth contamination is an important cause of lead absorption in lead-exposed workers.

The results show that SLS reduces the barrier function to Ni-ion penetration of the stratum corneum and EDX allows analysis of the influence of different factors involved in nickel penetration through the skin by giving data on the physiological effects on the epidermal cells caused by the applied substances.

The prevention of nickel contact dermatitis

Some compounds offer potential for use in the prophylaxis of nickel dermatitis and further work is required to develop the existing agents and to look at the use of novel combinations, such as that of a cation exchanger with a ligand.

Data are consistent with development of a hapten-specific, cell-mediated immune response following topical application of beryllium and suggest a mechanistic link between the persistent rate of bryllium worker sensitization and skin exposure to fine and ultrafine beryLLium particles.

The absorption of 85Sr through skin was measured on the basis of external y-radiation measurements from the whole body, bone tissue (patella), and from data on the daily excretion of ‘35Sr, which were compared with data obtained after intravenous injection of the radionuclide.
