Survey of chemical substances in consumer products, 68 – Mapping of perfume in toys and children's articles

Mapping of perfume in toys and children's articles

Preface

The project is forming part of a large investigation of various consumer products with the title "Mapping of chemical substances in consumer products".

The investigations were initiated in order to map the area and to shed light on people's exposure to chemical substances in consumer products and the risk involved.

The project has been carried out by a cross-functional team consisting of employees from COWI A/S and Eurofins Denmark A/S. These employees are as follows:

COWI A/S: Dorte Glensvig, Anne Abildgaard, Christian Buck, Susanne Guldberg, Anne Rathmann Pedersen and Frank Stuer-Lauridsen
Eurofins Denmark A/S: Jane Pors and Peter Mortensen

The success of the project has been dependent on information from a number of distributors, importers and producers of toys and children's articles containing flavour and fragrance. Special thanks to everybody who filled in the questionnaire and provided us with product information and samples.

The primary target group of the project is the Danish Environmental Protection Agency, producers and private consumers of toys and children's articles with flavour and fragrance.

The project report is also available in Danish.
