In vitro study to determine decontamination of 3,5-dichloro-2,4,6-trifluoropyridine (DCTFP) from human skin

► DCTFP is lipophilic and volatile, and can cause skin irritation and burn. ► Short exposure of DCTFP was examined with an in vitro human skin diffusion system. ► 10 or 30 min post-dose, 53% or 88% evaporated, 0.13% or 0.27% penetrated, respectively. ► Decontamination potentials of soap/water, D-TAM, corn oil and RSD were evaluated. ► Short turn human skin exposure is an important point for decontamination potential.
