18361511 Kang-Sickel JC, Fox DD, Nam TG, Jayaraj K, Ball LM, French JE, Klapper DG, Gold A, Nylander-French LA: S-arylcysteine-keratin adducts as biomarkers of human dermal exposure to aromatic hydrocarbons. Chem Res Toxicol. 2008 Apr;21(4):852-8. Epub 2008 Mar 25.

In dermal tape-strip samples collected from 13 individuals exposed to naphthalene-containing jet fuel, naphthyl-conjugated peptides were detected at levels from 0.343 +/- 0.274 to 2.34 +/- 1.61 pmol adduct/microg keratin but were undetectable in unexposed volunteers.
