Rationale

There have been some frameworks that define consumer product and consumer article categories and their relationship to exposure pathways, but there is a need for more standardization and consistency across approaches. This guide will build on a 2017 OECD report and recent publications that define relevant exposure pathways for combinations of chemical categories used in various consumer products.
