Dermatitis is a major health concern associated with jet fuel exposures. The initial study addressed the possible mechanism for additive interactions on hydrocarbon disposition in synthetic and biological membranes. The remaining studies focused on neat hydrocarbon absorption and toxicity in pig skin. A dose related increase in percutaneous absorption of aromatic hydrocarbons was observed. This finding focuses attention to occupational setting...
