The annual Danish consumption is approximately 30,000 kg. A total of 42 products were identified at the mapping process. 15 products were analyzed for different chemical substances of which 8 were analyzed in detail.

The Danish Environmental Protection Agency will, when opportunity offers, publish reports and contributions relating to environmental research and development projects financed via the Danish EPA.

Please note that publication does not signify that the contents of the reports necessarily reflect the views of the Danish EPA.

The reports are, however, published because the Danish EPA finds that the studies represent a valuable contribution to the debate on environmental policy in Denmark.
