ABSTRACT:
A method and system for in vivo dermal absorption testing of a laboratory animal uses a mask and harness for protecting the respiratory tract of the animal when the animal housed within a sealed chamber with a hazardous test vapor introduced in the chamber. Because of the difficulty of getting a good seal with a protective mask on a laboratory animal, this system is designed with an air leak from inside the mask into the chamber. To ensure that the test vapor does not infiltrate the mask nor leak from the chamber, the vapor is maintained at a negative pressure within the chamber as compared to the external atmospheric pressure and air is supplied to the mask for the animal to breathe at a positive pressure and at a greater rate than that needed by the animal.
