Accurately measuring the usage patterns of consumer products (CPs) is important to conduct realistic exposure assessments. We determined the exposure factors for 18 consumer products: household bleach, mold stain remover, all-purpose cleaner, washing machine cleaner, air conditioner cleaner, glass cleaner, drain cleaner, adhesive remover, liquid snow chain, tire shine spray, wheel cleaner, rain repellent, car wax spray, leather polish, furniture polish, anti-fog product, fabric waterproofing spray, and rust inhibitor. Field survey staff visited homes and collected product use information via face-to-face interviews. In total, 10,000 participants (5010 men and 4990 women) aged 15 years and older completed the questionnaire. Household bleach had the highest use rate of 47.4% and use rates for the other products ranged from 0.8 to 21.7%. The use rates of many CPs differed by age group and gender. Many household cleaning products were used regularly, but some products, such as air conditioner cleaner and liquid snow chain, were used in specific seasons or for specific purposes; therefore, they were used less frequently compared to cleaning products. These exposure factor data will be useful as input data for exposure and risk assessments and setting safety guidelines.
准确测量消费品(CPs)的使用模式对于进行实际暴露评估很重要。我们确定了18种消费品的暴露因素:家用漂白剂、霉菌污渍去除剂、通用清洁剂、洗衣机清洁剂、空调清洁剂、玻璃清洁剂、下水道清洁剂、粘合剂去除剂、液体防滑链、轮胎光亮喷雾、轮毂清洁剂、防雨剂、汽车蜡喷雾、皮革上光剂、家具上光剂、防雾产品、织物防水喷雾和防锈剂。实地调查人员走访家庭,通过面对面访谈收集产品使用信息。共有10000名15岁及以上的参与者(5010名男性和4990名女性)完成了问卷。家用漂白剂的使用率最高,为47.4%,其他产品的使用率在0.8%至21.7%之间。许多消费品的使用率因年龄组和性别而异。许多家用清洁产品经常使用,但一些产品,如空调清洁剂和液体防滑链,在特定季节或用于特定目的时使用;因此,与清洁产品相比,它们的使用频率较低。这些暴露因素数据将作为暴露和风险评估以及制定安全指南的输入数据。
