Abstract
Skin exposure to cleaning products in the general and occupational population are a public health concern. Among the most frequently identified amphiphilic organic solvents in cleaning products are propylene glycol monomethyl ether (PGME) and propylene glycol n-butyl ether (PGBE). Internal dose from skin exposure may be efficiently evaluated using in vitro flow-through diffusion cells with excised human skin. Our aim in this study was two-fold; 1) characterize the permeation rates (J), time lag (T <sub>lag</sub> ), and permeation coefficients (Kp) of PGME and PGBE in human ex-vivo skin permeation assays, and 2) determine a possible mixture effect on skin permeation characteristics when applied together. Our results showed a short T <sub>lag</sub> for PGME and was reduced further depending on the amount of PGBE in the mixture (T <sub>lag</sub> was reduced from 2 h to 1-1.7 h) for fresh skin. PGBE T <sub>lag</sub> slightly increased when mixed with 50 % or more PGME. Permeation rate decreased to half for both PGME and PGBE in mixture at any concentration. This substantial permeation was greater with previously frozen skin. This mixture effect could favor permeation of other compounds through human skin.
