Results and discussion

Absorption in different matrices:
Over a 6-h period, 23.9 ± 5.4% (mean ± SD, n= 3) of the dose was absorbed into the effluent or was found in the skin. At least 60% of the dose evaporated, and total recovery of the applied dose was about 85%.
Total recovery:
85 %

Any other information on results incl. tables

The results from the in vitro experiment supported those of the in vivo study (see 7.1.1).
