What Health Outcomes are Associated with Dermal Exposure?
Health outcomes from dermal exposure can range from mild to severe and include:
- Skin irritation and dermatitis: Prolonged or repeated contact with irritants and allergens can cause skin inflammation. - Systemic toxicity: Certain chemicals can penetrate the skin and cause systemic effects, impacting organs and systems. - Infections: Pathogens like bacteria, viruses, and fungi can enter the body through skin breaches, leading to infections.
