摘要

Children's consumer products represent an important exposure source for many toxicants due to their intended uses, which lead to direct contact with children. Examples of chemicals found in children's products include phthalates, bisphenols and parabens. As regulation and reporting requirements increase, demand for safer alternatives to these chemicals has also increased. Alternatives assessments are used to identify safer chemical alternatives, however, many times these assessments are limited by lack of toxicity data. This biases the alternatives assessment to conclude that the new chemical is safer, when in fact it may be just less well studied. This project examines how in vitro data can fill gaps in alternatives assessments for hazardous chemicals found in children's consumer products. Formal national and international lists, such as the European Chemical Agency's (ECHA) Endocrine Disruptor Substances of Concern classification are compared with the toxicological prioritization index (ToxPi) score calculated based on the United Stated Environmental Protection Agency's ToxCast Database. Formal lists are primarily derived using data from human and animal studies, and the ToxPi score is based on in vitro assay results. Three chemical groups were considered: phthalates, parabens and bisphenols. Though alternative chemicals were rarely classified as endocrine disruptors by the ECHA, the in vitro ToxPi scores for alterative chemicals were slightly higher for bisphenols and phthalates. The results from this case study suggest that in vitro data can help fill gaps when existing classifications are incomplete. This project is supported by the Environmental Protection Agency (FP-91779601-0, RD 83573801, RD 83451401) and the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (5P01ES009601).
