Factors determining percutaneous metal absorption

Hostynek reviews factors that change how much metal crosses skin, including the metal salt, the vehicle, and the condition of the skin.

Hostynek reviews factors that change how much metal crosses skin, including the metal salt, the vehicle, and the condition of the skin. The article is a review. Tables of diffusion constants compile earlier experiments, including a nickel(II) chloride entry and a nickel(II) di-octanoate entry. Those compiled figures are not re-extracted here as if Hostynek had measured them.

Key numbers

No original occurrence survey is reported. No primary-study concentration from the review’s tables is copied into the ledger.

Methods (brief)

Narrative review. Food and Chemical Toxicology, 2003.

Evidence fitness

The review can orient a reader to the percutaneous-absorption literature. It cannot add a new measured concentration to a product page.

Limitations

Citation chains in the tables are easy to mistake for new data. They are excluded on purpose.
