Worksheet C03a: Accidental Spill onto the Hands for 1 Hour Based on the
Assumption of First-Order
Absorption [WrkDrmFrHnd]
Verbal Description: A worker spills a solution of the compound at a specified concentration (
C)
on a defined
area of the skin (
A). Based on the amount of liquid adhering to the skin (
L), the
amount of chemical absorbed
(
Dose) over a given period is calculated from the first order dermal absorption coefficient (
k
a
),
the amount of
time that the chemical remains on the surface of the skin before it is effectively removed by washing (
T) and
the body weight (
W) (Durkin et al. 1995).

EXPOSURE ASSESSMENTS FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC
Worksheet D01a: Direct Spray of a Child, Assumption of First-Order Absorption [SpillFOACh01]
Verbal Description: A naked child is accidentally sprayed over the entire body surface (
A) with a field dilution
of a specified concentration (
C). The child is effectively washed - i.e., all of the compound
is removed - after a
specified period of time (
T). The absorbed dose (
D) is calculated from the amount of liquid adhering to the skin
(
L), the first-order dermal absorption rate (
k
a
) and the body weight (
W).
