Abstract:
The dermal toxicity due to industrial chemicals is well recognised. They may be the cause of skin irritation and skin sensitization. Some of the chemicals may result in dermal reactions such as changes in skinfold thickness, cellular degeneration and necrosis. The absorption through the skin may also cause penetration of chemicals into the organism causing systemic effects.
