title: [Resorption of 2-phenylphenol from washing hand disinfectants (author's transl)].
abstract: 2-phenylphenol may be applied as active agent in hand disinfectants which have a simultaneous cleaning effect. Such a preparation (Primasept M, Schülke & Mayr GmbH, Norderstedt) which is also suited for the inactivation of Hepatitis B viruses was applied according to prescription and the intake of the active agent by the skin was determined indirectly by the quantity separated in the urine. After 10 minutes successive application of the preparation a mean value of 6.2 mg was observed. Compared with the ADI-value, admitting significantly higher values, no particular risk has to be expected by application of the preparation.
