The influence of pH on the in vitro permeation of rhodium through human skin
Jansen van Rensburg, Sané; Franken, Anja; Du Plessis, Jeanetta; Du Plessis, Johannes Lodewykus (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 ... -
Measurement of transepidermal water loss, stratum corneum hydration and skin surface pH in occupational settings: a review
Jansen van Rensburg, Sané; Franken, Anja; Du Plessis, Johannes Lodewykus (Wiley, 2019)Background: The skin provides a permeable barrier which may be impaired in oc‐ cupational settings. Transepidermal water loss (TEWL), stratum corneum hydration (SCH) and skin surface pH (SSpH) have been used in occupational ... -
Particle size and metal composition of gouging and lancing fumes
Keyter, Marelé; Van der Merwe, Alicia; Franken, Anja (Taylor & Francis, 2019)Metal gouging and lancing liberate particles of an unknown size and composition. Fumes are formed when vaporized materials condense in air, creating fine and ultrafine particles which can agglomerate. Particle sizes may ... -
Transepidermal water loss, stratum corneum hydration, and skin surface pH of female African and Caucasian nursing students
Young, Monica M.; Franken, Anja; Du Plessis, Johan L. (Wiley, 2018)Background Conflicting evidence exists on how skin barrier function compares between Africans and Caucasians. This study measured skin barrier function of South African first year nursing students before their practical ...
