Survey of Chemical Substances in Consumer Products, No. 85 2007 – A mapping of products and material used within live role-play

Key Subjects:
Products; role-play

Key Subjects in Danish:
Produkter; rollespil

Abstract:
The Danish Environmental Protection Agency has made a survey of the range of products within live role play, including what kind materials that are used when children and youth produce their own role-play equipment. Equipment includes weapons, suits, artificial noses/ears, masks, etc. During the past years, live role-playing has become an increasingly popular hobby among children and youth. As this niche has developed into a more common leisure activity for children and youth, a market has evolved providing equipment and merchandise for live role play. Besides from this mapping, the report also provides laboratory analyses on specific substances of 8 different products. The analyses comprise a study of the content of the products and also testing through simulated production of home-made latex weapons.

Abstract in Danish:
Miljøstyrelsen har kortlagt produktområdet for live rollespil, herunder hvilke typer materialer der anvendes, når børn og unge selv fremstiller rollespilsudstyr. Udstyr omfatter våben, dragter, kunstige ører/næser, masker mm. Live rollespil er i løbet af få år blevet en udbredt hobby blandt børn og unge. I takt med udviklingen fra niche til almindelig børnefritidsaktivitet er der opbygget et marked for udstyr og tilbehør til live rollespil. Målet med kortlægningen har været at få et overblik over hvilke materialer, der anvendes samt få en indledende screening af, om der anvendes produkter/materialer, som kan være sundhedsmæssigt betænkelige. Ud over kortlægningen indgår der i projektet en laboratorieanalyse af en række udvalgte produkter. Disse analyser har omfattet undersøgelser for konkret indhold af udvalgte kemiske stoffer i 8 forskellige produkter samt forsøg, hvor der simuleres en situation under egenproduktion af latexvåben. En sundhedsvurdering af resultaterne indgår ikke i dette projekt.
