Our objective was to investigate the formation of ozone-initiated
reaction products from two selected common household products
under near-realistic user conditions in a walk-in climate chamber;
further, to apply recently reported thresholds and critical exposure
limits for acute airway effects are used for a risk assessment. The
selection of the two product types was twofold: first, on the basis of a
European market study of consumer product uses and user patterns in
four EU regions within the EPHECT (Emission, Exposure Patterns, and
Health Effects of Consumer Products in the EU) project resulted in the
most used product brands and types (Johnson and Lucica, 2012).
