Abstract

Information on risk of detergents in China was analyzed. First, 65,546 papers were searched at an internet search site CNKI using ‘detergents' as a keyword, and 366 papers were extracted from them according to the titles of papers and the abstracts. The data were arranged from the viewpoints of skin related toxicity, fluorescent agents, EDC (endocrine-disrupting chemicals), human health risk relevant to experimental data on toxicity test with mammals and that on toxicity test on living organisms except for mammals. The results show that the ratio and the amount of information against synthetic detergents increased after 1990. EDC problem has gradually attracted attention in China since it attracted worldwide attention in 1997. By comparing the history of detergent dispute in China with that in Japan using the chronology, it was clarified that a lot of risk information in China had been influenced by that in Japan, and the risk information in China tends to lag behind because of the slow data update rate.
