Global regulations of biocides have been continuously enhanced for protecting human health and the environment from potentially harmful biocidal products. Although the combined exposure scenarios of components in mixtures are firstly needed to conduct the mixture risk assessment, systematic combined exposure scenarios are still lacking. In this study, combined inhalation exposure scenarios of biocides in household chemical and biocidal products marketed in South Korea were investigated based on the European Union (EU) and Korean chemical product databases integration. The information of 1058 biocidal products and 675 household chemical products that are likely to cause inhalation exposure with two or more biocides was collected, and mixture combination patterns were investigated. Finally, based on the frequency of use, we suggested a priority list of biocide mixture combinations which need to be firstly evaluated. |
