Skin absorption of gaseous organic contaminants is an important and relevant mechanism in human exposure to such contaminants, but has not been adequately examined. This article demonstrates that dermal uptake from airborne contaminants could be recognized as a significant exposure route for local residents subjecting to combustion fume from e-waste recycling activities. It is particularly true for organic pollutants which have high dermal penetration rates and large skin-air partition coefficients, such as low molecular weight plasticizers and flame retardants.
皮肤对气态有机污染物的吸收是人体接触此类污染物的重要且相关的机制，但尚未得到充分研究。本文表明，对于受电子废物回收活动燃烧烟雾影响的当地居民，从空气中污染物经皮肤摄入可能是一个重要的暴露途径。对于那些具有高皮肤穿透率和大皮肤-空气分配系数的有机污染物，如低分子量增塑剂和阻燃剂，这种情况尤其如此。
