本文介绍了一种新的方法（DREAM）的结构化，半定量皮肤接触评估的化学或生物制剂，可用于职业卫生或流行病学。预计DREAM可以作为皮肤接触的初步评估，除其他外，对任务和随后的工作进行排序。DREAM由库存和评估部分组成。一家汽车制造公司工人皮肤接触的两个例子表明，DREAM描述了任务的特点，并深入了解了接触机制，为系统减少接触奠定了基础。DREAM提供了衣服外层以及皮肤上的接触水平估计值，并提供了对全身皮肤接触分布的深入了解。连同任务和人员的排名，这为衡量战略提供了信息，并有助于确定衡量谁、在哪里和做什么。除了皮肤接触评估外，系统描述皮肤接触途径有助于确定最适当的测量策略和方法的优先顺序。DREAM可能是结构化、半定量、皮肤接触评估的一种有前途的方法。
This paper describes a new method (DREAM) for structured, semi-quantitative dermal exposure assessment for chemical or biological agents that can be used in occupational hygiene or epidemiology. It is anticipated that DREAM could serve as an initial assessment of dermal exposure, amongst others, resulting in a ranking of tasks and subsequently jobs. DREAM consists of an inventory and evaluation part. Two examples of dermal exposure of workers of a car-construction company show that DREAM characterizes tasks and gives insight into exposure mechanisms, forming a basis for systematic exposure reduction. DREAM supplies estimates for exposure levels on the outside clothing layer as well as on skin, and provides insight into the distribution of dermal exposure over the body. Together with the ranking of tasks and people, this provides information for measurement strategies and helps to determine who, where and what to measure. In addition to dermal exposure assessment, the systematic description of dermal exposure pathways helps to prioritize and determine most adequate measurement strategies and methods. DREAM could be a promising approach for structured, semi-quantitative, dermal exposure assessment.
