Conclusions:
The diffusion coefficients (Dsc, cm2/min x 10^-8) of aromatic hydrocarbons were determined to be: Naphthalene 4.2+/-1.4; 1-Methyl naphthalene 4.6 +/-2.7; 2-Methyl naphthalene 4.5+/-2.6.
Executive summary:

This data is being read across from the source study that tested Naphthalene, 1-methylnaphthalene, and 2-methylnaphthalene based on analogue read across.

A mathematical model was developed to describe the diffusion coefficients (Dsc) of aromatic hydrocarbons. The diffusion coefficients (Dsc, cm2/min x 10-8) of aromatic hydrocarbons were determined to be: Naphthalene 4.2+/-1.4; 1-Methyl naphthalene 4.6 +/-2.7; 2-Methyl naphthalene 4.5+/-2.6.

Test guideline
Qualifier:
no guideline available
Principles of method if other than guideline:
A mathematical description/model was developed to describe the uptake of aromatic hydrocarbons into the stratum corneum of human skin in vivo. The dermal absorption data was gathered in a previous paper (Kim 2006).
