Estimated exposure doses for chemicals in plastic toy materials (IMAGE)
Caption
Estimated exposure doses for chemicals in plastic toy materials are compared against non-cancer effect reference doses below which no unacceptable risk is expected (top), or combined with cancer effect slope factors indicating carcinogenic potency (bottom). Chemicals falling in the 'red zone' are considered 'chemicals of concern', yielding estimated exposure doses that exceed reference doses (top) or yielding cancer risks higher than 1 per million (bottom).
