Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

The permeability efficient of p-cresol (in vitro human abdominal skin) was 2.92 x 10[exp-4] cm/min and the lag time for a 0.4 %w/v solution was 16 min. The threshold concentration for damage i.e. the aquous concentration at which the permeability coefficient began to increase was 8.85 %w/v.
