Abstract:
The yearly turnover of resorcinol in Denmark ia from 6 to 23 tons. It is primarily used in products from which there is no emission. The use is in rubber products (e.g. conveyor belts), in production of laminated wood constructions and high quality plywood and in chemical synthesis of unknown products. Resorcinol is also used in hair dying products, where it is used as a so called coupler. The exposure of an adult person from this usage is calculated to be 1 mg/hairdying proces.

Abstract in Danish:
Den årlige omsætning af resorcinol i Danmark ligger mellem 6 og 23 tons. Stoffet anvendes primært i produkter, hvor stoffet bliver bundet i en matrix, hvorfra der ikke forventes udslip til miljøet, primært gummiprodukter (transportbånd og drivremme), i lim til træ (limtræ til bærende konstruktioner og højkvalitets krydsfiner) samt til kemisk syntese af visse ikke nærmere definerede produkter. Resorcinol anvendes også i hårfarver, hvor resorcinol anvendes som såkaldt kobler i farvesystemet. Denne anvendelse giver anledning til en eksponeringen af voksne på 1 mg/hårfarvning.
