Review of skin permeation hazard of bitumen fumes

Rooij, Joost G.M. van / Jongeneelen, Frans J.

The potential for health hazards arising from dermal exposure and possible uptake of bitumenfume or components is unclear. In 2001 the German MAK committee has assigned a 'H-notation' to bitumen fumes. However, the assignment of a skin notation to bitumen fumes is under debate. The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH K) concluded in 1999 that assigning a skin notation was notjustified. NIOSH did not develop a conclusion on this aspect in their health hazard review of bitumen fumes in 2000. The present study aimed to update and review the strength of evidence of scientific knowledge on the skin permeation hazard of bitumen fumes among workers.
