Exposure assessment of nanomaterials in consumer products

Sub-report no. 1 from the project "Consumer exposure and risk assessment of nanomaterials in products on the Danish market"

Under the Agreement "Better Control of Nanomaterials" (“Bedre styr på nanomaterialer”), the Danish EPA has commissioned a number of projects aiming to investigate and generate new knowledge on the presence of nanomaterials in products on the Danish market and assess the possible associated risks to consumers and the environment.

This report is the first in a series of four from a project which addresses consumer exposure and risk assessment of nanomaterials in products on the Danish market.  The report:

•  Evaluates existing methods/approaches/tools for assessing consumer exposure and risks associated with consumer nanoproducts.

•  Identifies representative consumer nanoproducts from which to select and describe a total of 20 exposure scenarios for further risk assessment.
