Título Permethrin transfer from treated cloth to the skin surface: Potential for exposure in humans
Información bibliográfica Feb-1992, Vol.35, No.2, p.91-105. 22 ref.
Resumen Results of animal experiments showed that fabric treated with permethrin at a rate of 0.125mg/cm2 lost the substance to the skin surface at an average rate of 0.49%/day. At the end of the 7-day exposures in rabbits, about 3.2% of the available permethrin had reached the skin. Variables including effects of prelaundering, varying environments, presence of sweat and different fabric types had little effect on the migration rate. The exposure dose to humans from wearing permethrin-treated (0.125mg/cm2) military clothing is predicted to be 0.0006mg/kg/day.
