| Abstract |
A study was carried out to evaluate methods for the measurement of irritant skin responses following single and repeated exposure to three water-based cutting fluids. Tests involved visual examination, measurement of transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and skin blood flow. The three cutting fluids showed different skin reactions due to their chemical components. Measurement of changes in TEWL was shown to be a reliable indicator of damage to skin barrier function; an enhanced TEWL could be measured even in visually normal skin. Increase in blood flow was detected only after cumulative exposure. |
