- WO99 / 13336 relates to a non-invasive transdermal system for detecting an analytical sample extracted from an intermediate liquid from or underneath the skin of a person.
- the system consists of a chemical dry component which interacts with the analytical sample and has a detection sensitivity which makes it possible to detect the analytical sample extracted from the intermediate liquid and from a chemical moisture component for the transfer of the analytical sample from the intermediate liquid in or under the skin the chemical dry component in sufficient quantity so that the dry component can examine the analytical sample.
- US 4 092 119 describes an environmental quality indicator made of a polymeric material
- Carrier layer is applied to the indicator as a layer of paint that changes color when exposed to certain environmental contaminants. In the carrier layer, neither diffusion nor permeation processes take place. The color layer does not constitute a barrier layer, in Only one color change occurs as a result of chemical reactions of the indicator with certain environmental contaminants.
- the system includes a gauze layer overlying the skin, a porous layer, a tie layer containing a chemically or biochemically active material for binding the volatile analyte, a gas permeable filter, and a barrier layer that protects the system from contamination from the ambient air protects.
- the object of the invention is to provide a monitoring system with which certain highly volatile substances, especially contaminants contained in the ambient air, are collected in a simple manner and / or can diffuse transdermally.
- a monitoring system which is arranged flat on the skin of a living being, has a diffusion collector of at least three layers and / or an equilibrium diffuser of at least two layers.
- the skin of an animal facing layer of the diffusion collector on the skin is Idebereheat prevents a barrier layer, the diffusion of the environmental contaminants into the skin and is a environmental contaminants receiving collecting layer on the outside of the monitoring system.
- the layer of the equilibrium diffuser on the skin of a living being is adhesively adhesive to the skin and there is a collecting layer receiving the environmental contaminants and transdermally forwarding the collecting layer on the outside of the monitoring system.
- the collecting layer consists of at least one suitable for transdermal purposes polymeric material.
- the polymeric material (s) are added to porous, absorbent materials to increase the solubility and the absorption of organic Regenkontinantien.
- the polymeric or the polymeric material (s) from the group of silicone copolymers, polyisobutylene, acrylate copolymers, Styrolisoprencopolymere be selected.
- the porous absorptive materials are preferably selected from the group of activated carbon, bentonite, silica, synthesized polymers with specific affinities for certain organic trace substances.
- each of the two polymeric materials is positioned after exposure in a sealed vessel which is heated in a headspace Gaschromato- graph, wherein a state of equilibrium between diffuse from the materials in a gas space in the respective vessel environmental contaminants and adjusts the remaining in the material environmental contaminants and the amounts of Regen ⁇ contaminants from the gas phase of the gas space out measured.
- an estimated value for the dermal delivery rate of environmental contaminants to a living being is determined by comparing the measured amounts or concentrations of the environmental contaminants in the two polymeric materials.
- the invention achieves the advantage that the monitoring system consists of diffusion collectors and equilibrium diffusers, which can be used together or each component can be used alone.
- diffusion collector and equilibrium diffuser With the combined use of diffusion collector and equilibrium diffuser, a particularly simple and reliable assessment of the transdermal absorption rate of environmental contaminants is possible. If the diffusion collector and the equilibrium diffuser are used independently of one another, then the analysis of the contaminants stored in the diffusion collector allows statements to be made about the concentrations of the individual substances and which substances are present in the ambient air. If the equilibrium diffuser is used alone, the measurement of the environmental contaminants present in the equilibrium diffuser will provide information on the transdermal uptake of environmental contaminants in relation to their concentrations and quantities.
- the invention is explained in more detail below with reference to illustrative exemplary embodiments. Show it:
- FIG. 1 shows schematically a section through a diffusion collector according to the invention
- FIG. 2 shows a schematic sectional view through an equilibrium diffuser according to FIG
- FIG. 3 shows the planar arrangement of a monitoring system according to the invention on the skin of a living being
- FIG. 4 a schematically shows the diffusion conditions in the diffusion collector and in the equilibrium diffuser and in the latter the transdermal permeation
- FIG. 4b schematically shows the diffusion ratios in an embodiment of the diffusion collector slightly modified with respect to FIG. 4a and in the equilibrium diffuser and in the latter the transdermal permeation.
- the monitoring system 6 contains a polymer-containing transdermal planar formulation which is adhered to the skin of a living being and after several hours of use, which may be up to 24 hours, by analytical determination of the trace amount of organic volatile compounds contained via the air is evaluated.
- the monitoring system 6, s. Figures 3, 4a and 4b, consists of at least one Diffusions ⁇ collectors 4 and 8 and / or at least one equilibrium diffuser 5. It can, depending on the measurements to be carried out, only the on the skin to be worn Heilkontaminations-Diffusions- Samrnler 4 or 8, as well as those collection systems which, in addition to the diffusion collectors, contain the same number of equilibrium diffusers 5 as storage facilities for organic trace substances, which at the same time enable the further diffusion of the trace substances into the skin.
- FIG. 1 shows a schematic section through a diffusion collector 4, which orders from at least three layers, a skin-facing adhesive layer 1, one of which Diffusion preventing barrier layer 2 and arranged on the outside of the Kochwachungs ⁇ system Sammelschiclit. 3
- the composition of the collecting layer 3 can be adapted according to the respective application.
- the texture of the collection layer 3 is sufficiently stiff for a 24-hour wearing period.
- polymeric active ingredients are suitable as the main component for this application. Because of the good compatibility with the skin, in particular silicone copolymers, polyisobutylene, styrene isoprene copolymers and other materials used for transdermal therapeutic systems are well suited.
- porous and absorptive materials such as activated carbon, bentonite, silicon dioxide are added to the polymeric materials. Synthesized polymers are used especially for the absorption of certain individual substances. The technique of producing such synthesized polymers with particular affinity for trace substances can be found in detail in the literature under the term "molecular imprinting".
- the adhesive layer 1 of the diffusion collector 4 consists, for example, of biocompatible adhesive polymers, in which case silicone polymers are the first choice. In addition, polyacrylates and isobutylene are also suitable adhesives. Preferred layer thicknesses of the collecting layer 3 are between 1 and 100 ⁇ m.
- the adhesive layer has a thickness of between 5 and 200 ⁇ m. The thickness is preferably between 5 and 100 ⁇ m.
- all raw materials are suitable which are flexible and not or only slightly diffusible for various contaminants. Preference is given here in particular to pure metals such as aluminum, silver, gold, which are used in thin layers of about 1 to 5 ⁇ m thickness. Ideally, the metals should be elemental as a foil.
- the construction of the Equilibriumdiffusor 5 differs from that of the diffusion collector 4 by the absence of the barrier layer 2, as shown in Figure 2 can be seen.
- the barrier layer 2 as shown in Figure 2 can be seen.
- the adhesive layer 1 and the collecting layer 3 of a Equilibriumdiffusors 5 are identical
- the diffusion collector 4 and the equilibrium diffuser 5 each have adhesive layers 1 and collecting layers 3 of the same material.
- the collecting layers 3 and the adhesive layers 1 of diffusion collector 4 and equilibrium diffuser 5 have the same dimensions.
- Both the diffusion collector 4 and the equilibrium diffuser 5 may contain one or more additional layers as barrier layers for certain environmental contaminants and as non-adhesive layers against textiles, plastics, leather and the like.
- the additional barrier layers make it possible to design the monitoring system only for the measurement of certain substances contained in the air, since only these can penetrate the barrier layers and the remaining contaminants can not penetrate these barrier layers.
- the non-stick layers which are each attached to the outside of the Sammel ⁇ layers of the monitoring system, serve to prevent sticking the Sammel ⁇ layers on a garment of fabric or leather of the person who carries the monitoring system on their skin to prevent.
- FIG. 3 shows the monitoring system 6 comprising a diffusion collector 4 and an equilibrium diffuser 5, both of which lie flat on the skin 7 of a person.
- the entire monitoring system 6 is exposed to exposure to contaminated air, i. H.
- Equal amounts of air act on both the diffusion collector 4 and the equilibrium diffusion layer 5, since the dimensions and thus the volumes of the respective layers 3 as well as of the layers 8 which are susceptible to adhesion are the same.
- the materials of the layers 1 and 3 are the same in the diffusion collector 4 and the equilibrium diffuser 5, respectively, the diffusion and permeation processes through the skin can be compared with each other.
- FIGS. 4a and 4b indicate diffusion and permeation processes in the diffusion sensors 4, 8 and in the equilibrium diffuser 5 of the monitoring system 6.
- the ambient air has a concentration C of volatile pollutants.
- Diffusion processes take place at the boundary layer or surface between the ambient air and the components of the monitoring system 6, represented by the arrows A and B.
- Diffusion is a movement of atoms, ions and molecules in a medium of higher low concentration designated. Only after a uniform distribution of all particles in a system, no net movement is detectable, since then a concentration balance is achieved and the system is in an equilibrium state. The speed of the particles is temperature-dependent and increases with increasing temperature.
- the particles move statistically, so that at first individual particles penetrate the boundary surface or separation surface between air and collecting layer at the beginning of the exposure, ie move into the collecting layer 3 in the direction of the arrow A. Some of these particles, but not all, return to the air, indicated by the arrow B, resulting in a net flow of particles towards the collection layer which was originally free of pollutants. After a certain exposure time, the previously mentioned equilibrium in the system will set and the concentration of pollutants in the collection layer will then be Cl. Since the diffusion collector 4 is equipped with a barrier layer, the collected pollutants can not further diffuse toward the skin 7. With the Equilibriumdiffusor 5 further diffusing into the skin is possible because a barrier layer is missing. The diffusion processes at the interface of ambient air and collecting layer 3 are the same as in the diffusion collector 4, provided that the materials of the two collecting layers 3 are the same and also their dimensions.
- the permeation depends on the permeability, which is to be understood as meaning the diffusion of particles through surfaces (membranes).
- the skin 7 can be considered as a biological membrane which is not equally well permeable to all substances. It is selectively permeable, ie the skin is permeable to a substance I, not permeable to a substance II.
- the permeability is selective and depends on the presence of specific carrier or carrier molecules in the skin, with an affinity for a limited group of chemically related substances.
- Equilibrium diffuser 5 is in equilibrium with the concentration C2 of the contaminants. The concentration C2 is smaller than the concentration Cl in the diffusion collector 4, since some of the contaminants do not remain in the collecting layer 3 of the equilibrium diffuser 5, but continue to diffuse in the direction of the skin 7.
- the monitoring system After a certain period of wear of the monitoring system on the skin 7 of the exposed person or the exposed animal, the monitoring system is removed from the skin.
- the wearing time is specific for each individual agent to be measured, d. H. different lengths.
- the minimum wear time of the monitoring system namely about 4 to 5 hours, is for the substance with the shortest saturation time for the collection in the collection layer 3.
- the other substances to be examined then have a longer wearing time than the minimum wearing time. It is therefore expedient to use a monitoring system with a plurality of diffusion collectors 4 and equilibrium diffusers 5 if a larger number of contaminants is to be measured.
- the single pair of a diffusion collector 4 and an equilibrium diffuser 5 is then designed to measure one or several contaminants.
- Each additional pair of diffusion collector 4 and equilibrium diffuser 5 is prepared for the measurement of one or more contaminants other than the contaminants measured using the aforementioned single pair. In this way it is possible to measure a variety of different contaminants with the monitoring system.
- the monitoring system As soon as the monitoring system has been removed from the skin, it is fed, after optional storage, to analytical work-up and analytical determination of the contaminants.
- the analytical workup is carried out by known methods such as gas chromatography. As a rule, extraction with an organic solvent of the highest purity, which does not contain the particular conta ⁇ minating agent, is carried out initially. The resulting solution is added to a high pressure liquid or gas chromatograph for analysis. By comparison with known standard solutions which contain the same contaminants as in the solution to be investigated, the amount of contaminants absorbed by the monitoring system can be determined.
- the procedure is as follows: It is zu ⁇ least one polymer material, which is suitable for transdermal purposes and contains porous, absorptive materials for the uptake of certain environmental contaminants, adhered flat on the skin. Furthermore, a similar polymeric material, which has a barrier Schichlit which shields it against the skin, adhered to the skin surface. The two polymeric materials are exposed for the same amount of time, and then removed from the skin, and that happens at a time before the saturation of the materials for the environmental contaminants occurs. Thereafter, the collected environmental contaminants are extracted and sent to an analytical determination.
- the concentration C2 in the collection layer 3 of the equilibrium diffuser 5 can also change the permeation and thus also the dermal supply rate in the skin With the onset of saturation no contaminants are included in the collection layer 3, but the permeation of the collection layer 3 continues. If the saturation absorption in the collecting layer 3 of the diffusion collector 4 occurs after a certain wearing time with the concentration Cl of contaminants, this is not the case with the equilibrium diffuser 5 since the concentration C2 is less than the concentration C1 due to the permeation an equilibrium state is not present.
- the amount of contaminants and their dermal delivery rate to the skin can also be determined chromatographically without organic solvents.
- the diffusion collector 4 and the equilibrium diffuser 5 or the materials of the collecting layers 3 of these components after exposure are placed in sealed glass vessels, which are heated in a so-called headspace gas chromatograph.
- a equilibrium state then arises between the environmental contaminants diffusing from the materials into a gas space in the respective closed vessel and the environmental contaminants remaining in the materials.
- the amounts or the concentration of the environmental contaminants can then be measured in the gas phase of the gas space.
- an estimated value for the dermal Accruals of environmental contaminants to a person or animal are determined.
- D / d is the permeability constant and has the dimension [cm / s].
- the size d corresponds to the thickness of the skin and the feed rate is the number of moles that passes through a certain area per second. As the concentration decreases with increasing distance from the surface, the concentration gradient (Cl-C2) / d has a negative value.
- the slightly modified embodiment of the monitoring system according to FIG. 4 b differs from the embodiment according to FIG. 4 a only with regard to the diffusion collector 8.
- the diffusion collector 8 has a barrier layer 2, which does not adjoin the underside of the collecting layer 3, but is arranged at a distance from this bottom side. Between the Sarnmel slaughter 3 and the barrier layer 2 is another layer 9, the example videspiels ⁇ a barrier layer for a special Kontaminatie.
