Denmark | Analyzes and risk assessment of endocrine disruptors in products for pregnant women and children

The aim of the project was to carry out chemical analyzes, hazard-, exposure- and risk assessments substance-by substance and / or combined for selected endocrine disruptors and suspected endocrine disruptors in products for pregnant women and children.

The exposure scenarios were established for pregnant women (unborn child), toddlers under 3 years of age and children aged 3 years. In the risk assessments, the total exposure from both consumer products and other products such as food, food contact materials and pharmaceuticals is included. Furthermore, the assessments have been made both when it is assumed that a threshold can be set, DNEL, and when it is assumed that a safe threshold cannot be set, DMEL. In both cases, assessments have been made with and without the use of an additional safety assessment factor, MAF.
