Abstract
eng: Azocolorants are the largest group of synthetic dyestuffs used in textiles on the
market. Health hazards to consumers are carcinogenicity and contact allergy. Selected
textile products incl. toys have been analysed. Judging from this analysis the risk of
getting cancer from azodyed textiles is small (but existing). The risk of allergy is
substantial, but further documentation is needed. Alternatives to azocolorants may be
sulphonated azodyes, but further environmental studies are needed before recommendation.
Resumé
dan: Azofarver er den største gruppe syntetiske farvestoffer brugt i tekstiler på
markedet. Kræft- og allergifremkaldende egenskaber er de væsentligste sundshedsfarer ved
brug. Udvalgte tekstiler inkl. legetøj er analyseret. Risikoen for at få kræft fra
tekstiler farvet med azofarver er lille. Der er risiko for at få allergi, men der mangler
dokumentation. Sulfonerede azofarver foreslås som alternativ, men der bør foretages
yderligere økotoksikologiske studier, før disse kan anbefales.
