Abstract

p-Phenylenediamine (PPD) is an ingredient of permanent oxidative hair colouring products. PPD was reported to cause severe allergic contact dermatitis. The exposures to PPD for hair dressers have been of concerns. Previous studies were conducted to elicit allergic skin reaction as a function of the applied concentrations on skin and exposure duration. In order to protect the hairdressers, PPD was banned by Sweden and France, but many countries regulate PPD contents in hair coloring products including European Cosmetics Toiletry and Perfumery Association and U. S. A. Currently, there is not an occupational exposure limit of PPD. Therefore, the aim of this study was to propose occupational exposure level of PPD for hairdressers by using health risk assessment. Previously, 16 volunteers were tested with patches containing 1%, 0.3%, 0.1% and 0.01% PPD in petroleum for 15 min, 30 min and for 120 min. These data were used for dose-response relationship modeling by using the Benchmark dose software. Only the log-probit and log-logistic models fit this data set. A BMDL10 0.57 % x min was adopted, and a uncertainty factor of 20 accounting for inter-individual differences and incompletion of the data sets was used to derive the proposed exposure level at 0.6 mg of PPD in petroleum on skin in a 8-hr work shift. (This example is adopted from Professor Wu’s collaborative work)
