Abstract:
The objective has been to pinpoint the risks that might exist when children are playing and staying in tents and tunnels. The emission of chemical substances was tested on 6 selected products. The assessment showed that during the first hours of use, an increased emission of formaldehyde occurred and that there therefore may be a risk to health due to formaldehyde emission. As for the other substances, the emitted quantities were relatively small and it is assessed that the health effects will be insignificant.

Abstract in Danish:
Formålet med projektet var at få afklaret de risici, der måtte være ved børns leg og ophold i telte og tunneler. Afgivelse af kemiske stoffer, blev målt på 6 udvalgte produkter. Den sundhedsmæssige vurdering viste, at der ved de første timers brug var forhøjet afgivelse af formaldehyd og at der derfor kan være en risiko for at formaldehyd kan give sundhedsmæssige problemer. De øvrige stoffer blev fundet i meget små mængder, og det blev vurderet at risikoen for sundhedsmæssige effekter vil være minimal.
