Dermal toxicity refers to the harmful effects that a substance can have on the skin upon contact. This type of toxicity can occur through direct exposure to chemicals, leading to irritation, allergic reactions, or even systemic effects if the substance penetrates the skin barrier. Assessing dermal toxicity is crucial for evaluating the safety of various products, including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and industrial chemicals. It is often studied through skin irritation tests and other toxicological assessments.
