Noninvasive skin swab analysis detects environmental drug exposure of pharmacy staff
The skin is complex with multiple layers serving protective, regulatory, and detective functions. The skin hosts chemicals originating from consumption, synthesis, and the environment. Skin chemicals can provide insight into one's daily routine or their level of safety in a work environment. The goal of this study was to investigate the utility of noninvasive skin swabs to detect drugs in a pharmacy setting and to determine whether drugs are transferred to the skin of pharmacy staff. To answer this question, skin swabs were collected from healthy pharmacy staff workers and healthy non-pharmacy individuals and analyzed via untargeted liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS). Drugs were annotated through library matching against the GNPS community spectral library. We then used questionnaire data to exclude medications that participants took orally or applied topically and focused on the drugs participants were exposed to in the work setting. Overall, pharmacy staff had a higher number and variety of medications on their skin as compared with healthy individuals who did not work in a pharmacy. In addition, we identified some chemicals such as N,N-Diethyl-metatoluamide on a large number of subjects in both experimental and control groups, indicating environmental exposure to this compound may be ubiquitous and long-lasting.
期刊介绍:
Clinical and Translational Science (CTS), an official journal of the American Society for Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics, highlights original translational medicine research that helps bridge laboratory discoveries with the diagnosis and treatment of human disease. Translational medicine is a multi-faceted discipline with a focus on translational therapeutics. In a broad sense, translational medicine bridges across the discovery, development, regulation, and utilization spectrum. Research may appear as Full Articles, Brief Reports, Commentaries, Phase Forwards (clinical trials), Reviews, or Tutorials. CTS also includes invited didactic content that covers the connections between clinical pharmacology and translational medicine. Best-in-class methodologies and best practices are also welcomed as Tutorials. These additional features provide context for research articles and facilitate understanding for a wide array of individuals interested in clinical and translational science. CTS welcomes high quality, scientifically sound, original manuscripts focused on clinical pharmacology and translational science, including animal, in vitro, in silico, and clinical studies supporting the breadth of drug discovery, development, regulation and clinical use of both traditional drugs and innovative modalities.
