Emissions, Exposure Patterns and Health Effects of Consumer Products in the EU 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 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 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
