[USEPA, 1992a: Dermal Exposure Assessment]; (b) Contact between a chemical and the skin. [USEPA, 1997a: EPA Terms of Environment] [USDOE, 2000: RAIS Glossary]; (c) This term refers to a quantifiable measure of the amount of residue deposited on skin; normally expressed as a density, or mass per unit time, deposited on a defined skin surface area (e.g., mg/hr hand exposure); equivalent to potential dose for the dermal route.
