Impact/Purpose:
Evaluating chemical safety and sustainability over the life cycle of products requires drawing upon the various data streams and impact assessment tools from the life cycle assessment (LCA) field, along with improved exposure models that rapidly and reliably characterize human health risks of chemicals from direct and indirect exposure pathways. Near-field exposure to chemicals in consumer products has been identified as a significant source of exposure for many chemicals1,2. Quantitative data on product chemical composition is a necessary parameter for characterizing near-field exposure.
Description:
Quantitative data on product chemical composition is a necessary parameter for characterizing near-field exposure. This data set comprises reported and predicted information on more than 75,000 chemicals and more than 15,000 consumer products. The data’s primary intended use is for exposure, risk, and safety assessments. The data set includes specific products with quantitative or qualitative ingredient information, which has been publicly disclosed through material safety data sheets (MSDS) and ingredient lists. A single product category from a refined and harmonized set of categories has been assigned to each product. The data set also contains information on the functional role of chemicals in products, which can inform predictions of the concentrations in which they occur. These data will be useful to exposure and risk assessors evaluating chemical and product safety.
