Long description - Figure 2 -The equation used for calculating the litre-equivalent value for dermal absorption

The litre-equivalent value for the dermal absorption of NDMA is 0.4 litre-equivalents per day (rounded). This value is calculated by multiplying the constant 6.3 by 0.058 cm/h (the skin permeability coefficient).
