In vitro skin permeation of selected platinum group metals
(2014)Background: Platinum group metal (PGM) mining and refining is a large constituent of the mining sector of South Africa and contributes significantly to the gross domestic product. The PGMs include the rare metals platinum ... -
The influence of pH on the in vitro permeation of platinum through human skin
(North-West University (South Africa) , Potchefstroom Campus, 2016)Background: At platinum mines and refineries, and other industries such as the catalytic industry, workers are at risk of being potentially exposed via dermal contact to soluble platinum salts, which are known sensitisers ... -
The influence of pH on the in vitro permeation of rhodium through human skin
(Sage, 2017)Workers in precious metals refineries are at risk of exposure to salt compounds of the platinum group metals through inhalation, as well as through the skin. Rhodium salt permeation through the skin has previously been ... -
The influence of pH on the in vitro skin permeation of rhodium
(2014)In occupational settings where rhodium is produced or used, such as the mining industry, refineries and catalytic industries, workers are at risk of being dermally exposed to this metal in either the metallic form or its ... -
Urinary excretion of platinum (Pt) following skin and respiratory exposure to soluble Pt at South African precious metals refineries
(Elsevier, 2018)Adverse respiratory and skin health effects have been associated with occupational exposure to soluble platinum (Pt). However, the relationship between skin exposure and urinary Pt excretion has not yet been investigated. ...
