NOTES

The time to peak plasma levels was between 3 and 45 hours, which is why I haven't included it in the database. After the area had been swabbed at 6h a gauze was placed over the area for protection. AUC was 46,8+/- 2.9 ng/ml/h. 11.2microg of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol were found in the urine after 72h. I have not been able to include this as there were other detectable metabolites of lindane present in the urine and that data was not included.
