NOTES

Human cadaver skin was used. Flux was given as mcrg/h. I have converted this to mcrg/cm2/h. Results were given as +/- SEM. I have converted these to SD for this database. The concentration of malathion was given as 1%. I am assuming that this was v/v and I have worked out the concentration in mg/ml by extrapolation from the kp and flux results.
