`Second International Symposium
`on the Health Effects of Boron
`
`and Its Compounds
`
`Introduction
`
`The Second International Symposium on the Health Effects of Boron
`and Its Compounds, October 22—24, 1997, brought together investigators
`interested in the effects of boron in biological and environmental systems
`at toxicological, pharmacological, and nutritional levels. A majority of
`the principal investigators working in these areas reported the results
`of the studies they have conducted over the past five years. Important
`contributions were made also by participants interested in the research
`methods required to measure these effects, especially at low—exposure
`levels where the complex chemistry of boron must be taken into account.
`Studies pointing to the nutritional importance of boron have been
`conducted" over the past 20 years, and at the 1992 "symposium, a number
`of studies investigating the nutritional role of boron were presented.
`However, it was not until this present symposium that the essentiality of
`boron for some vertebrate species was demonstrated.
`As was the case with the First International Symposium held in
`1992, it was hoped that this symposium would, by presenting as com-
`pletely as possible the current state of knowledge about boron and its
`compounds, stimulate research into issues identified by the participants.
`The concluding article in this volume is an effort to underline future
`research needs.

`
`ABSTRACT
`
`Literature from the first half of this century reports concern for
`toxicity from topical use of boric acid, but assessment of percutaneous
`absorption has been impaired by lack of analytical sensitivity. Analyti-
`cal methods in this study included inductively coupled plasma-mass
`spectrometry, which now allows quantitation of percutaneous absorp-
`tion of 10B in 1°B~enriched boric acid, borax, and disodium octaborate
`tetrahydrate (DOT) in biological matrices. This made it possible, in the
`presence of comparatively large natural dietary boron intakes for the
`in vivo segment of this study, to quantify the boron passing through
`skin. Human volunteers were closed with 10B-enriched boric acid,
`5.0%, borax, 5.0%, or disodium octaborate tetrahydrate, 10% in aque-
`ous solutions. Urinalysis, for boron and changes in boron isotope
`ratios, was used to measure absorption.
`Boric acid in Vivo percutaneous absorption was 0.226 (SD = 0.125)
`mean percent dose, with flux and permeability constant (KP) calculated

`
`at 0.009 ug/crn2/h and 1.9 X 10"7 cm/h, respectively. Borax absorption
`was 0.210 (SD = 0.194) mean percent dose, with flux and KP calculated
`at 0.009 ug/cm2/h and 1.8 X 10-7 cm/h, respectively. DOT absorption
`was 0.122 (SD = 0.108) mean percent, with flux and KP calculated at
`0.01 ug/cm?/h and 1.0 X 10'7 cm/h, respectively. Pretreatment with
`the potential skin irritant 2% sodium lauryl sulfate had no" effect on
`boron skin absorption.
`These in vivo results show that percutaneous absorption of
`boron, as boric acid, borax, and disodium octaborate tetrahydrate,
`through intact human skin is low and is significantly less than the
`average daily dietary intake. This very low boron skin absorption
`makes it apparent that, for the borates tested, the use of gloves to pre-
`vent systemic uptake is unnecessary. These findings do not apply to
`abraded or otherwise damaged skin.

`
`INTRODUCTION
`
`Boron (B) is an ubiquitous element in rocks, soil, and water. Most of
`the earth's soils have <10 ppm B, with high concentrations found in parts
`of the western US and in other sites stretching from the Mediterranean
`to Kazakhstan. The average soil B concentration is 10-20 ppm, and sea-
`water contains an average of 4.6 ppm B. Fresh waters normally range
`from <0.01 to‘1.5 ppm, with higher concentrations in regions of high B
`soil levels. Being present in every part of the environment, it is likely that
`life evolved in the presence of the element. B is essential to plant life.
`Borates are used widely in industrial and domestic applications. The
`manufacture of glass and related uses consume about half of the borates
`as boric anhydride (B203) in the US. Fiberglass accounts for the largest
`share, comprising about 77% of the total (54% for insulation fiberglass,
`23% for textile grade). Heat-resistant pyrex and other low—thermal-
`expansion glasses consume about 18%, whereas enamels, frits, and
`ceramic glazes consume 5%. Small amounts are used in sealing and opti-
`cal glasses, Vycor, and vitrifying nuclear waste (1).
`Thus, it is obvious that human skin comes into Contact with B min-
`erals and chemicals from mining to manufacturing to consumer use.
`However, this ubiquitous element is also present in all plant life and,
`thus, a part of everyone’s diet. This presented a classical situation of dis-
`tinguishing between a potentially small amount of B chemicals absorb-
`ing through skin against a much larger background of B in the daily diet.
`Classically, the way to distinguish the two has been to use a radiotracer
`for the skin-absorbing chemical. For B this is not chemically possible to
`do. Fortunately, new analytical technology "is now available, and this
`made it possible to distinguish between low levels of skin~absorbing B
`chemicals against a larger dietary background.

`Percutaneous Absorption of Boron
`
`MATERIALS AND METHODS
`
`Test articles, 10B-enriched boric acid, 1°B—enriched borax, and di-
`sodium octaborate tetrahydrate (DOT) were provided by U.S. Borax Inc.
`(Valencia, CA). Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) was obtained from Sigma
`Chemical Co. The dosing formulations, 5% boric acid solution and 5%
`borax solution, were prepared by adding the appropriate volume of
`water to the appropriate weighed amount of test compound. Samples
`were sonicated to ensure homogeneity; 10% disodium octaborate tetrahy-
`drate solution was formulated by U.S. Borax Inc. Stability of the formu-
`lations was shown for the course of the study.
`The in vivo dose was 1.8—mL solutions over 900-cm? skin area, or
`2 ul/cmz, the maximum dose that would not run off the skin. Human
`volunteers were recruited from the University of California, San Fran-
`cisco (UCSF) and the surrounding San Francisco Bay Area community.
`Twenty—four normal, healthy, males or females, aged 22-50 yr, were
`selected for this study. Before the study, all volunteers were instructed on
`how to keep a daily food diary and on what food items high in B to
`avoid during the course of the study
`The studies were divided into three groups and each group contained
`eight volunteers. Background urine was collected for the first 4 (1. Groups
`I, II, and III received two separate topical applications of 10B-enriched 5%
`boric acid, 5% borax, or 10% DOT solutions on their back skin, respec-
`tively. One dose was _applied_on day 5 under normal skin conditions, and -
`the other on day 12 under potentially irritated skin conditions created by
`applying 2% SLS solution. Twenty—four hours after each topical dose,
`residual chemical on the closed skin site was removed by skin wash.
`Twenty—four-hour urine samples were collected daily for 17 d. Urine
`samples from day 1 to day 4 were used to establish base B levels and iso-
`tope ratios in the urine. The samples from day 5 to days 11 and 12 to the
`end were used to compare absorbed level under normal skin and irri-
`tated skin conditions. To evaluate the dosing site skin condition, the
`transepidermal water loss TEWL measurement and skin visual scoring
`were taken each time before dosing (including SLS treatment) and wash-
`ing. Five sites of the marked area, the upper-left corner, the upper—right
`corner, the center, the lower-left corner, and the lower-right corner, were
`used for the TEWL measurement.
`
`On day 5, the physical condition of the back skin of each volunteer
`was examined, and then a 900-cmz area, 30 X 30 cm, was marked on the
`back. The marked area received a single topical application of 5% boric
`acid (group I), 5% borax (group H), or 10% DOT (group III). Each dose for-
`mulation was delivered with a 3.0—mL Eppendorf polypropylene syringe
`(Brinkmann Instru_ments, Ind., Westbury, NY). The delivered dose was
`quantitated by weighing the micro syringe before and after dosing.
`After topical application, the dosed area was allowed to air-dry, and
`then the volunteer dressed in a commercial white T-shirt for 24 h. The vol-

`sured by the
`Courage 8: Khazaka Electronic
`GmbH (Cologne, Germany). Five sites on the treated skin were used for
`each measurement. Those were the upper-left corner, the upper—right cor-
`ner, the center, the lower-left corner, and lower-right corner. Each mea-
`surement was taken for at least 3 min. The average value of the last 20 s
`and the standard deviations were recorded when the measurement value
`was stable. Prior to the measurement, the subject rested in the test room
`at least 30 min; room temperature and humidity were recorded. During
`the study (on days 5, 6, 11, 12, an
`the volunteers’ skin was checked
`by a trained dermatologist for erythema and edema (redness and inflam-
`mation). Skin condition was scored on a scale of 0-5.
`In order to avoid excess dietary B intake, the volunteers were asked
`to follow some dietary restrictions during the 17-d study. Foods and bev-
`erages to avoid were dried fruits (primes, raisins, dates, and so forth),
`includin foods containin these items; cherries, avocados, nuts
`eanuts,
`S

`P
`pecans, almonds, and so on), peanut butter, honey, prune juice/grape
`juice, wine, and beer. In addition, the volunteers were advised to check
`labels and avoid products containing boric acid or sodium borate, such
`as health food supplements, pharmaceuticals, skin ointments, cosmetics,
`and mouthwash or dental solutions. The volunteers were also asked to
`and beverages they con- :

`Volunteer showed the time food/beverage was consumed, the location
`where it was consumed,
`type of food or beverages, method of food
`preparation, all
`ingredients, estimated amount eaten, and standard
`household measurements or the weight in ounces or grams.
`Samples were analyzed for 10B and “B content by inductively coupled
`plasma mass spectrometry (ICPIVIS) using a VG PlasmaQuad II (VG Ele-
`mental, Danvers, MA). Samples were delivered by peristaltic pump (Gilson
`Minipuls 3, Middleton, WI) at approx 1.2 mL/min. SRM 951, boric acid
`from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NTST, Gaithers—
`burg, MD), which is certified for both purity and isotopic content, was used
`to prepare B standards in the range of 10—1000 pg/L. The acid concentra-
`tion in the standards was matched to the sample for accurate quantitation.
`
`RESULTS
`
`Figures 1, 2, and 3 show the in Vivo daily plot of excess 10B as indi-
`vidual and mean values for boric acid, borax, and DOT, respectively. The
`figures illustrate the study design for the 17—d sample collection period,
`with 10B-enriched dosing occurring on days 5 (nontreated skin) and 12
`(pretreatment with 2°/o SLS).
`Table 1 shows that 0.226 (SD = 0.125) mean percent dose of 5% boric
`acid was absorbed through the skin in human volunteers over a 6-d
`period after a 24-h dosing period. Pretreatment with 2% SLS for 24 h gave
`nochange in‘ mean percent dose absorbed (mean = 0.239, SD = 0.174).
`With 5% borax, the mean percent dose absorbed was 0.210 (SD : 0.194)
`with no treatment, and no change was seen with 2% SLS pretreatment
`(mean = 0.184, SD = 0.219). With 10% DOT,
`the mean percent dose
`absorbed was 0.122 (SD = 0.108) with no treatment, and no change was
`noted with 2% SLS pretreatment (mean = 0.107, SD = 0.133). No statisti-
`cally significant difference was found in the percent B absorption of the
`three compounds, either without pretreatment (p = 0.33) or after 2% SLS
`pretreatment (p = 0.35), even though the mean percent B absorption of
`DOT was about half of that obtained for both boric acid and borax. No
`skin irritation was noted for any of the above treatments.
`Table 2 gives the recovery and accountability of administered dose
`in 24-h urine accumulation (percent dose absorbed), the T-shirt that was
`worn over the dosed skin for 24 h, and the washed skin after the 24-h
`dosing period. The T-shirts were able to contain dose within contact of
`the skin for the 24~h period. Also, skin wash at 24 h removed chemical
`from the skin. Thus, it can be assumed that administered dose was in
`contact with the skin of the Volunteers for the 244h closing period. Also,
`skin wash number 10 (last wash) contains a <1% dose; thus, the skin
`washing procedure seems complete. It is assumed that the remainder of
`the dose was lost to outside clothing (over the T-shirt) and bedding
`(sheets, blankets) during the 24-h dosing period.
