Summary/Abstract: Taking into account dermal exposure is an important aspect in ensuring safe working conditions with nanomaterials. Quantum dots and nanomaterials with a larger particle size, metallic or with a metallic component, have the highest probability of absorption through the skin. A crucial factor in the process of absorption of nanomaterials through the skin is the disruption of its protective function, which may result in an increased risk of penetration and permeation of nanomaterials into the dermis and the human bloodstream.
