Show moreChemical compositions or chemical made fibers that come in contact with the skin create specialized and challenging problems for the toxicologists. As an example, before nylon was put on the market, it was carefully tested by DuPont's Toxicologists to make sure it would not cause dermatitis. First, it was applied to laboratory animals in a variety of ways. Proved harmless to them, small pieces of nylon were taped to legs or arms of hundred of paid volunteers like those above. Patches were left on for one week, the removed for ten days and again applied. Final test of nylon's purity came with wear tests of hosiery by 5,000 women. Studies such as this which have been carried on by DuPont for many years are being continued at the Haskell Lab for Toxicology and Industrial Medicine.
