SUMMARY:Symposium on Surface and Dermal Sampling
DESCRIPTION:The role of surface and dermal sampling to assess contamin
 ation levels\, or to detect harmful agents\, is growing. However\, sta
 ndard techniques for sampling of surfaces\, including skin\, are relat
 ively few\, and their development is hampered by limited data. The lac
 k of harmonization in these techniques creates difficulties in compari
 ng data from different studies. Agreement is needed on protocols for s
 urface and dermal sampling and\, to improve data defensibility\, metho
 ds for sampling of surfaces\, including skin\, are in need of standard
 ization. The symposium will explore recent work that could aid in begi
 nning the standards development process\, and challenges that need to 
 be overcome for further standards development.
