This page introduces some of the dermal pathway-related laboratory
studies performed over the last five years. The published abstracts included
on linked pages are from studies that utilized hand-press experiments to
investigate the various factors that might affect soil adherence. Images
that illustrate the technique and those that show hand loadings (for perspective)
can be viewed from linked pages.
