Bathing Effects of Various Seawaters on Allergic (Atopic) Dermatitis-Like Skin Lesions Induced by 2,4-Dinitrochlorobenzene in Hairless Mice

Table 1

Salinity and mineral compositions of individual seawaters used in this study.

Seawaters	Temperature (°C)	Depth (m)	Salinity ()	Mineral compositions (mg/L)
				Ca	Mg	K	Na
GUGW	30		0.40	81.00	121.00	12.00	569.00
WSSW	22	5	26.20	234.61	923.67	481.34	7081.18
WSGW	70	700	22.40	3243.08	207.79	325.91	3850.67
ESSW	21.9	5	34.00	417.50	1264.00	383.00	10672.00
ESGW	21.7	689	26.00	1856.00	1012.00	38.00	3178.00

Seawaters were filtered with pore size 1.2 μm GF/C Grass Microfiber Filter (Korea Filter Paper Co., Ltd., Seoul, Republic of Korea) except for WSGW, which was not filtered before being used in this experiment. GUGW = general underground water; WSSW = west surface seawater collected around Wepo-ri (Ganghwa-do, Republic of Korea); WSGW = west saline groundwater collected at Yonggungoncheon (Seokmo-do, Republic of Korea); ESSW = east surface seawater collected around Nagok-ri (Uljin, Republic of Korea); ESGW = east saline groundwater collected around Hoojeong-ri (Uljin, Republic of Korea).
