[Epidermal reaction kinetics following benzol contact]

With benzene as model substance the reaction of the epidermis to different concentrations of harmful substances is examined in animal experiments. This shows that with biometrically unobtrusive results dependent on benzene concentration and penetration time, distinct changes take place in the function of the epidermis cells. These results are essential for the pathogenesis and prophylaxis of skin damaged by exposure to harmful substances at industrially permissible concentrations of noxa.
