Dermal absorption
Administrative data
- Endpoint:
- dermal absorption in vivo
- Type of information:
- migrated information: read-across based on grouping of substances (category approach)
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- no data
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: The study was performed pre-GLP and pre-guideline. Nevertheless it gives a good indication of dermal absorption for this substance.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Executive summary:
The authors studied the percutaneous penetration of 21 organic chemicals. The experimental method consisted of the application of the chemical to the human forearm and quantitating its penetration through the skin by its appearance in urine. The recovery from after urine was 10.15% ± 6.60% of the administered dose for potassium thiocyanate, 4 µg/cm2 on a 13 cm2 area, after a collection period of 120 hours.
