Popis: In the present study, we aimed to define and report the universe of ingredients used in consumer cleaning products in the United States. To develop exposure estimates associated with the use of these cleaning product ingredients, an inventory was developed using data provided publicly by product formulators. The inventory included compilation of product uses, ingredient names, and ingredient uses for over 13,000 ingredient listings from over 1,000 products surveyed. Ingredient listings were consolidated to produce the Ingredient Inventory, a list of 588 unique name-CAS registry number combinations. Ingredients were associated with specific product uses. For each ingredient in the inventory, chemical class and function were researched. Ingredient functions were defined in terms of functional-use classes (FCs). Existing FC lists provided by EPA’s Safer Choice Program, EU REACH, INCI Dictionary, manufacturer Web sites and other sources were reviewed and FCs from each source compiled and compared. FC naming c...
