  4. EPHECT focus • WHAT? • consumer products • known to be potential sources of hazardous and other health relevant air pollutants in dwellings; exposure related to use scenario • AIM? • to identify and quantify • a set of key indoor air polluants and emerging pollutans emitted by consumer product classes, whilst simulating European use conditions • WHICH POLLUTANTS? • gaseous and particulate emissions, sec. reactions and degradations of coated surf. • (1) compounds prioritised by relev. inter. concerted actions or organisations • (2) compounds reported as pot. hazardous and occurring in the product • BUMAC Emissions, Exposure Patterns and Health Effects of Consumer Products in the EU

  5. EPHECT strategy (1) • Database of the state-of-the-art on consumer product emissions • product compositions, emission test protocols, emissions, sec.reactions, exposure, health end points • Selection of 15 product classes, which • (1) are used in households • (2) cause an exposure related to the use • (3) emit key or emerging pollutants • (4) have a considerable indicative household use frequency • (5) mainly cause inhalation exposure • (6) cause a health end point Emissions, Exposure Patterns and Health Effects of Consumer Products in the EU

  6. EPHECT strategy (2) • Market study on the 15 product classes • on use, use pattern, habits and attitudes of EU consumers • Laboratory testing • to quantify product emissions, focusing on research gaps • Exposure and health risk assessment models • applying data on use and use patterns + quantified product emissions • Completion of BUMAC • Risk management guidance • policy options, risk reduction strategies Emissions, Exposure Patterns and Health Effects of Consumer Products in the EU
