Survey of Chemical Substances in Consumer Products  no. 51, 2004

Mapping and release of chemical substances from products made of chloroprene

Abstract
The aim of the project was to determine what kind of "problematic" chemical substances could be identified in 8 different consumer products made of chloroprene. The project included a survey, a screening for problematic substances and migration studies and a screening for health effects based on the results from the migration studies. Based on the studied products, it can be established that none of the substances found directly give rise to health problems.
