Dermal exposure data for mycotoxins are very scarce and fragmentary, despite their widespread skin contact and hazard toxicity. In this study, the transdermal kinetics of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), ochratoxin A (OTA), fumonisin B1 (FB1), citrinin (CIT), zearalenone (ZEA) and T-2 toxin (T-2) were quantitatively evaluated, using human skin in an in vitro Franz diffusion cell set-up. All mycotoxins penetrated through the skin, except for FB1, which showed concentrations in the receptor fluid below the LoD, resulting in a K-p < 3.24 x 10(-6) cm/h. OTA showed the highest permeation (K-p = 8.20 x 10(-4) cm/h), followed by CIT (K-p = 4.67 x 10(-4) cm/h). AFB1 and ZEA showed lower permeability rates (K-p = 2.11 and 2.33 x 10(-4) cm/h, respectively). T-2 was found to have the lowest permeability (K-p = 6.07 x 10(-5) cm/h). From literature-based mycotoxin-concentrations, dermal contact surface, exposure time and apparent K-p's obtained in this study, the daily dermal exposure (DDE) in two industrial and one residential scenario was estimated. Dermal exposure to the DNA-reactive genotoxic carcinogenic AFB1 can lead to a health risk for agricultural workers which are exposed to a mycotoxin contaminated solution in a worst case situation. For all the other investigated mycotoxins, no significant health risk is calculated after dermal contact in neither agricultural nor residential environments. (c) 2012 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.
