Abstract

This article addresses resilient flooring, evaluating the potential health effects of vinyl flooring and the leading alternatives-synthetic rubber, polyolefin, and linoleum-currently used in the healthcare marketplace. The study inventories chemicals incorporated as components of each of the four material types or involved in their life cycle as feedstocks, intermediary chemicals, or emissions. It then characterizes those chemicals using a chemical hazard-based framework that addresses persistence and bioaccumulation, human toxicity, and human exposures.

摘要

本文探讨了弹性地板，评估了乙烯基地板以及目前在医疗保健市场中使用的合成橡胶、聚烯烃和亚麻油地材等主要替代品的潜在健康影响。该研究列出了作为这四种材料类型组成部分或在其生命周期中作为原料、中间化学品或排放物涉及的化学品。然后，它使用基于化学危害的框架对这些化学品进行了描述，该框架涉及持久性和生物累积性、人类毒性和人类暴露。
