Survey of chemical substances in toys for animals

Appendix E
1 Screening of organic compounds by headspace GS-SM

The table shows the four substances found in most of the products. Trace amounts are marked by + or -, measurable quantities with ++, large quantity with +++.

BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene) was in half of the samples of traceable size and in the rest of the samples there were measurable quantities.

Tetradecane (C14H30) is identified as the strongest CH compound in most of the samples, but was only measurable in two samples, particularly in Toy 7.
