| Abstract |
Experiment involving guinea-pigs: an anti-solvent gel (Antixol) was applied to a part of the skin subsequently exposed to n-hexane. Skin biopsies showed damage to the epidermis, dermis and hair follicles in areas of the skin not covered by the gel. Advantages of the gel when compared with gloves, or with creams or gels designed as protection against organic solvents; effectiveness of the gel studied and need for tests in the workplace. |
