Gallium and arsenic human skin permeation after application of GaAs particles: an ex-vivo study using Franz cells
Gallium arsenide (GaAs) is a semiconductor widely used in various technological applications. This study, conducted in a research laboratory, aims to evaluate the cutaneous permeation of GaAs particles using an ex-vivo model with Franz diffusion cells.
Dissolution tests indicated that gallium dissociates at higher rates than arsenic in synthetic sweat, but permeation experiments revealed that arsenic is more permeable, particularly in damaged skin conditions. After 24 h of exposure, arsenic concentrations in the receiving compartment were three times higher in damaged skin (1558 ± 546 ng/cm2) than in decontaminated skin (458 ± 144 ng/cm2), (p < 0.05). Gallium
concentrations were six times higher in damaged skin (244 ± 5.29 ng/cm2) compared to decontaminated skin (37.1 ± 11.9 ng/cm2), (p < 0.05) Intact skin serves as an effective barrier, while damaged skin significantly increases the permeation of both elements. The decontamination process also enhances penetration due to impairment of the skin's lipid structure.
In conclusion, GaAs particles can release arsenic and gallium that penetrate and permeate the skin.
These findings highlight the importance of preventive measures in occupational settings to ensure adequate protection.
期刊介绍:
Food and Chemical Toxicology (FCT), an internationally renowned journal, that publishes original research articles and reviews on toxic effects, in animals and humans, of natural or synthetic chemicals occurring in the human environment with particular emphasis on food, drugs, and chemicals, including agricultural and industrial safety, and consumer product safety. Areas such as safety evaluation of novel foods and ingredients, biotechnologically-derived products, and nanomaterials are included in the scope of the journal. FCT also encourages submission of papers on inter-relationships between nutrition and toxicology and on in vitro techniques, particularly those fostering the 3 Rs.
The principal aim of the journal is to publish high impact, scholarly work and to serve as a multidisciplinary forum for research in toxicology. Papers submitted will be judged on the basis of scientific originality and contribution to the field, quality and subject matter. Studies should address at least one of the following:
-Adverse physiological/biochemical, or pathological changes induced by specific defined substances
-New techniques for assessing potential toxicity, including molecular biology
-Mechanisms underlying toxic phenomena
-Toxicological examinations of specific chemicals or consumer products, both those showing adverse effects and those demonstrating safety, that meet current standards of scientific acceptability.
Authors must clearly and briefly identify what novel toxic effect (s) or toxic mechanism (s) of the chemical are being reported and what their significance is in the abstract. Furthermore, sufficient doses should be included in order to provide information on NOAEL/LOAEL values.
