The intensified use of palladium nanoparticles (PdNPs) in many chemical reactions, jewellery, electronic devices, in car catalytic converters and in biomedical applications lead to a significant increase in palladium exposure. Pd can cause allergic contact dermatitis when in contact with the skin. However, there is still a lack of toxicological data related to nano-structured palladium and information on human cutaneous absorption. In fact, PdNPs, can be absorbed through the skin in higher amounts than bulk Pd because NPs can release more ions. In our study, we evaluated the absorption of PdNPs, with a size of 10.7 +/- 2.8 nm, using intact and damaged human skin in Franz cells. 0.60 mg cm(-2) of PdNPs were applied on skin surface for 24 h. Pd concentrations in the receiving solutions at the end of experiments were 0.098 +/- 0.067 mu g cm(-2) and 1.06 +/- 0.44 mu g cm(-2) in intact skin and damaged skin, respectively. Pd flux permeation after 24 h was 0.005 +/- 0.003 mu g cm(-2) h(-1) and 0.057 +/- 0.030 mu g cm(-2) h(-1) and lag time 4.8 +/- 1.7 and 4.2 +/- 3.6 h, for intact and damaged skin respectively. This study indicates that Pd can penetrate human skin. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
