Overview

The source Dermal Absorption and Toxicity Assessment supplies a state-of-the-art overview of the dermal absorption process, and is divided into six well organized sections. Written by internationally recognized experts in the field, this Second Edition is a complete revised and updated text, covering the wide range of methods used to assess skin absorption and the various governmental and industrial programs concerned with skin permeation and toxicity. These include alternative in silico, in vitro, and in vivo strategies to conduct studies for regulatory requirements. To make room for this new expanded content, the editors are publishing a concurrent text entitled: Dermatological and Cosmetic Development with a concentration on subjects concerned with dermatological and cosmetic therapies

The book contains black-and-white illustrations.

Booknews

A major route of entry into the body for a number of hazardous chemicals may be absorption through the skin. Twenty-nine contributions explore the mechanisms, assessment, and prevention of this danger. The papers are organized into sections pertaining to: the structure of skin and principles of percutaneous absorptions; dermal risk assessment predicted from epidemiological factors, physiological models, in vitro/in vivo experimentation and chemical structures; absorption of pharmaceuticals and cosmetics; and environmental exposures, including compounds from soil and bathwater.
