Symposium on Surface and Dermal Sampling
The role of surface and dermal sampling to assess contamination levels, or to detect harmful agents, is growing. However, standard techniques for sampling of surfaces, including skin, are relatively few, and their development is hampered by limited data. The lack of harmonization in these techniques creates difficulties in comparing data from different studies. Agreement is needed on protocols for surface and dermal sampling and, to improve data defensibility, methods for sampling of surfaces, including skin, are in need of standardization. The symposium will explore recent work that could aid in beginning the standards development process, and challenges that need to be overcome for further standards development.
