Influence of sebum proportion in synthetic sweat on dermal bioaccessibility and on permeation of metal(loid)s from contaminated soils.

Even if dermal exposure to metal(loid)s from contaminated soils has received less attention than oral and inhalation exposure, the human health risk can be significant for some contaminants and exposure scenarios. The purpose of this study was to assess the influence of sebum proportion (1% v/v and 3% v/v) in two synthetic sweat formulations (EN 1811, pH 6.5 (sweat A) and NIHS 96-10, pH 4.
