About

Shane S. Que Hee is a pioneering researcher in occupational and environmental health, with a specialized focus on chemical protective clothing and dermal exposure assessment. His major contributions center on developing realistic, dynamic testing methods for disposable gloves—moving beyond static ASTM standards to simulate actual work conditions. Using a dextrous robotic hand system modeled after the 50th percentile male hand, Que Hee has investigated how hand movement, fist clenching, and skin temperature affect chemical permeation and penetration. His work on captan, cyclohexanol, and limonene permeation through nitrile gloves has been cited over 40 times, providing critical data for industrial hygienists and safety professionals. Notably, his 2008 study on a moving robotic hand system (16 citations) established a novel methodology for whole-glove testing, while his 2016 companion papers on cyclohexanol permeation with and without clenching (17 combined citations) demonstrated that dynamic factors significantly alter breakthrough times and permeation rates. Que Hee’s research bridges laboratory testing and real-world protection, directly informing safer glove selection and usage guidelines for workers handling hazardous chemicals. His work remains essential reading for students and researchers in exposure science and occupational safety.
