However\, other routes of exposure can become important for l ower volatility chemicals. In this seminar\, clothing is investigated as a vehicle for concentrating lower volatility organic species such as metham phetamine\, phthalates and nicotine\, which can then be taken up by oral o r dermal routes. Methamphetamine is an example of a highly water (and sali va) soluble compound that can become highly concentrated in clothing simpl y by air-to-fabric transfer. Toddlers that mouth fabrics in a house with e ven very-low concentrations of methamphetamine can ingest a substantial do se. We also hypothesized that wearing clothing should increase dermal upta ke if the fabric was first allowed to equilibrate with certain SVOCs prese nt in indoor air. Simple mass transport models demonstrate that close-fitt ing clothing would reduce external mass-transport resistance and increase uptake relative to bare skin. To experimentally assess the effect\, we mea sured uptake of selected airborne phthalates for an individual wearing cle an clothes or air-exposed clothes and compared these results with dermal u ptake for bare-skinned individuals under otherwise identical experimental conditions. When compared against the average results for bare-skinned par ticipants\, clean clothes were protective\, whereas clothes exposed to pht halates dramatically increased dermal uptake of DEP and DnBP. Preliminary experiments with nicotine also show that clothing is also likely to contri bute to dermal dose in environments subject to tobacco smoke or vaping.\n\ n\n\n\n\nIf you are unable to join us for the seminar in person\, we will be broadcasting the presentations live during the seminar using GoToMeetin g software.
