Mapping and health assessment of chemical substances in shoe care products

2 Purpose

The purpose of the project is to obtain an overview of which problematic ingredients (including PBT dyes and PFOS compounds) are found in shoe care products on the Danish market as well as to identify any health risks connected with the use of the products and on this basis to establish guidelines for a safe use of the products.

The result of the project is thus an evaluation of the consumers' exposure to health hazardous substances when using shoe care products and recommendations for precautions that the consumer should take when using the products.
