Summary: | This volume examines the dermal absoption process with emphasis on determining the toxicity arising from exposure to pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and other substances. It serves as a bench resource for scientists seeking effective and timesaving means of estimating risk. Contributors also reveal how environmental hazards such as metal compounds, contaminated soil and water, and sun sensitivity occur and are measured through the skin. Practical information is provided on specific products, from analgesics and anti-inflammatory drugs, to perfumes, sunscreens and hair dyes.
