Significance and Use5.1 This practice is intended for the collection of samples of skin contamination to be used for the estimation of dermal exposureto metals

26、and metalloids. The practice is meant for use in the collection of dermal samples that are of interest in hazard evaluation,risk assessment, or other purposes. This practice is meant to provide a standardized means for estimating exposures to body partsthat are potentially exposed via dermal contact

The background metal(s) content of the wipes should be as lowas possible. At a maximum, the background level of target metal(s) shall be no more than one-tenth the target conce

Wipes may be wetted on site in the field by the person collectingthe samples, or may be purchased pre-wetted.NOTE 2Wipes meeting the requirements of Specification E1792 or D7707, or both, may be suitable.6.2 Sample Contai

33、lar, ovals, circles and triangles); or templates ofalternative areas having accurately known dimensions (see Practice D6966). Templates shall be flexible or otherwise capable ofbeing adjusted (that is, flexible) to conform to the skin surface. To minimize the risk of cross-contamination, the use of

34、disposabletemplates is generally preferred. Reusable templates shall be cleaned prior to each use.6.9 Marker, permanent or semi-permanent (metal-free ink) may be used in place of the template (see 6.8) to mark the area ofskin to be wiped.NOTE 4Caution should be exercised to avoid disturbing or touch

Procedure7.1 Sampling:7.1.1 Sampling EffciencyIt is recommended to conduct sampling efficiency studies prior to field sampling, under conditionsthat are similar to conditions of exposure regarding exposure process, levels of skin loading

37、, and time of residence of the compoundon the skin before collecting field samples.samples (1), (, 2).4NOTE 6Based on the results of sampling efficiency studies, it may be desirable to use more than one wipe for a specific sampling event. The numberof wipes to be used should be specified prior to pe

38、rforming the sampling.7.1.2 Wipe Method:7.1.2.1 Hand Sample Collection:(1) The person collecting the sample opens a wipe packet and without touching the wipe, offers it to the subject whose exposureis to be evaluated (3).(2) The subject is instructed to remove the wipe from the packet, and unfold it

39、.(3) The subject is instructed to wipe the palms first, then the top surfaces of both sides of the subjects hands, including thefingers (using normal hand washing pressure).(4) The subject is instructed to wipe the hands for a period of not less than 30 seconds.(5) After wiping is finished, the subj

40、ect is instructed to place the wipe into a clean, labeled sampling container.NOTE 7If the palms of the hands are dirtier than the back of the hands, it is recommended to wipe the back of the hands before the palms (that is,begin on the cleaner side and move to the dirtier side).7.1.2.2 Sample Collec

41、tion for Skin Other than Hands:(1) An area of skin, with the minimum 25 cm2 area to be wiped, is demarcated by the person collecting or assisting in collectingthe sample.(2) A template (see 6.8) is placed on the surface of the skin of the exposed person and held in place (manually or with tape)while

42、 the sample is collected. Alternatively, the area of skin to be wiped is marked using a ruler and marker (see 6.9) or medicaltape.(3) Where the surface area of the body part cannot easily be measured (for example, ears or nose), or circumstances do notpermit measurement of the body part, a descripti

43、on of the anatomical limits of the body part being wiped should be noted and thoselimits adhered to for all similar samples.(4) The person collecting the sample thoroughly wipes the exposed skin surface. If applicable, sample collection shall beconducted using the patterns starting from the perimete

44、r and working towards the interior of the area to be wiped (see Fig. 1).(5) After sample collection, the wipe used for sampling is transferred to a clean, labeled sample container.7.1.3 LabelingAfter the wipe sample has been placed in the sample container, label the container with sufficient informa

45、tionto uniquely and indelibly identify the sample, and record the dimensions (in cm2, if applicable) of the selected sampling area (thatis, the internal dimensions defined by the template, the taped area or the estimation of the hand surface area, if applicable).7.1.4 Sample TransportCollected sampl

46、es shall be transported to a laboratory for analysis following appropriate chain-of-custody procedures (see Guide D4840).7.1.5 Estimation of Exposed Skin Surface Area of the HandIf desired, the exposed area of the wiped hand can be estimatedusing one of the following techniques:7.1.5.1 Place the wip

47、ed hand on a piece of graph paper subdivided in cm2, and trace the hand with a pen to include the entirearea that was wiped, as shown in Fig. 2.

Estimate the surface area as describ

49、ed in 7.1.5.3.7.1.5.3 An estimate of the hand surface area can be calculated using a method described by Li, et al. (4). This estimation isperformed as follows:(1) The hand length, in cm, is measured from the center of the wrist, at the metacarpal phalangeal joint, to the tip of the middlefinger, as shown in Fig. 2, using a flexible ruler.(2) The hand circumference, in cm, is measured at the metacarpal phalangeal joint, as shown in Fig. 2, using a flexible ruler.(3) The estimated hand surface area, HSA, is calculated using the equation
