Scope

Di-methyl fumarate concentrations in consumer products that are sold in Europe.

Definition

Data

According to the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) shoes, sofas and chair account for more than 90% of the total DMF products entered in EU (Hong Kong Trade Development Council, 2009). Other consumer products include toys and helmets (reported in the RAPEX database). A case of occupational exposure after contact with working trousers has also been reported (Foti et al. 2009).

The European RAPEX database provided 185 results (2005-2011) of products which were contaminated with DMF. These concentrations are measured just after the products have come to the marked and therefore are refereed as concentrations before exposure. Furthermore, some sutudies were found from the literature, which published measured concentrations from the consumer products after being suspected to cause exposure to DMF. These are referred as concentrations after exposure.
