Literature from the first half of this century report concern for toxicity from topical use of boric acid, but assessment of percutaneous absorption has been impaired by lack of analytical sensitivity. Analytical methods in this study included inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry which now allows quantitation of percutaneous absorption of10B in10B-enriched boric acid, borax, and DISODIUM OCTABORATE TETRAHYDRATE (cas 12280-03-4) (DOT) in biological matrices. This made it possible, in the presence of comparatively large natural dietary boron intakes for thein vivosegment of this study, to quantify the boron passing through skin. Human volunteers were dosed with10B-enriched boric acid, 5.0%, borax, 5.0%, or disodium octaborate tetrahydrate, 10%, in aqueous solutions. Urinalysis, for boron and changes in boron isotope ratios, was used to measure absorption. Boric acidin vivopercutaneous absorption was 0.226 (SD = 0.125) mean percentage dose, with flux and permeability constant (Kp) calculated at 0.009 μg/cm2/h and 1.9 × 10−7cm/h, respectively. Borax absorption was 0.210 (SD = 0.194) mean percentage of dose, with flux andKpcalculated at 0.009 μg/cm2/h and 1.8 × 10−7cm/h, respectively. DOT absorption was 0.122 (SD = 0.108) mean percentage, with flux andKpcalculated at 0.01 μg/cm2/h and 1.0 × 10−7cm/h, respectively. Pretreatment with the potential skin irritant 2% sodium lauryl sulfate had no effect on boron skin absorption.In vitrohuman skin percentage of doses of boric acid absorbed were 1.2 for a 0.05% solution, 0.28 for a 0.5% solution, and 0.70 for a 5.0% solution. These absorption amounts translated into flux values of, respectively, 0.25, 0.58, and 14.58 μg/cm2/h and permeability constants (Kp) of 5.0 × 10−4, 1.2 × 10−4, and 2.9 × 10−4cm/h for the 0.05, 0.5, and 5.0% solutions. The abovein vitrodoses were at infinite, 1000 μl/cm2volume. At 2 μl/cm2(thein vivodosing volume), flux decreased some 200-fold to 0.07 μg/cm2/h andKpof 1.4 × 10−6cm/h, while percentage of dose absorbed was 1.75%. Borax dosed at 5.0%/1000 μl/cm2had 0.41% dose absorbed, flux at 8.5 μg/cm2/h, andKpwas 1.7 × 10−4cm/h. Disodium octaborate tetrahydrate (DOT) dosed at 10%/1000 μl/cm2was 0.19% dose absorbed, flux at 7.9 μg/cm2/h, andKpwas 0.8 × 10−4cm/h. Thesein vitroresults from infinite doses (1000 μl/cm2) were 1000-fold greater than those obtained in the companionin vivostudy. The results from the finite (2 μl/cm2) dosing were closer (10-fold difference) to thein vivoresults. General application of infinite dose percutaneous absorption values for risk assessment is questioned by these results. Thesein vivoresults show that percutaneous absorption of boron, as boric acid, borax, and disodium octaborate tetrahydrate, through intact human skin, is low and is significantly less than the average daily dietary intake. This very low boron skin absorption makes it apparent that, for the borates tested, the use of gloves to prevent systemic uptake is unnecessary. These findings do not apply to abraded or otherwise damaged skin.
