Abstract
In advanced countries, a variety of consumer exposure assessment models including CONSEXPO,are developed to manage risks of consumer products containing hazardous materials. The models are used toassess the risks of exposure to hazardous chemicals in consumer products, which serves as a foundation forregulation standards. In this study, exposure assessment models applicable for various scenarios were reviewedand a proper model was applied for the selected products and risk assessment was conducted at each stageto establish a risk assessment procedure for different types of products. Based on the exposure scenario, exposurefactor was selected and according to the algorithm produced based on CONSEXPO exposure model, somelevel of phthalates were detected from some types of PVC flooring. However, a correlation between phthalatecontent and migration rate showed r-square 0.0065, little correlation, which is inadequate for estimating standardvalue. For this reason, it seems valid that the current standard be in place. Additionally, any new standard wasnot suggested as VOCs were not found harmful to human health, allowing the existing standard to becontinuously applied. No migration rate was found for heavy metals and risk assessment was not performedaccordingly. In this aspect, it is presumed that hazards to health through dermal exposure would be very little.
