室内製品暴露評価ツール(ICET)の開発

抄録

We developed an indoor consumer exposure assessment tool, named “ICET”, which estimates inhalation, dermal, and oral exposure from consumer products in the indoor environment. The tool estimates concentrations of chemicals in indoor air, in house dust, and the amount of substances migrated to the surface of the skin, from both articles and mixtures. A database reflecting the Japanese lifestyle is included in the tool, such as types of houses, bodyweight, respiratory volume, and some default datasets concerning products. The tool estimates not only personal exposure in individual house but also nationwide exposure distributions of houses and residents in Japan using Monte Carlo simulation.
