What are the Challenges in Studying Dermal Exposure?
Several challenges exist in the study of dermal exposure:
- Variability in skin absorption: Differences in skin conditions, such as moisture, temperature, and integrity, can affect absorption rates. - Complex mixtures: Real-world exposures often involve multiple agents, making it difficult to isolate the effects of individual substances. - Long latency periods: Some health outcomes may take years to develop, complicating the establishment of causal relationships.
