    Title
    Environmental risk assessment of the polycyclic musks AHTN and HHCB according to the EU-TGD
    Translated Title
    Risico-evaluatie van de polycylische musken AHTN en HHCB in het milieu volgens de EU-TGD
    Publiekssamenvatting
    An environmental risk assessment has been carried out for the polycyclic musks AHTN and HHCB according to the EU Technical Guidance Document for Environmental Risk Assessment for New and Existing Substances. AHTN and HHCB are used in fragrances for cosmetics and detergents. Both substances are high volume chemicals with a use volume for Europe of 585 and 1482 tonnes in 1995, respectively. The environmental risk assessment is based on information and results of studies provided by the fragrance industry as represented in the Netherlands by its association of Fragrance and Flavouring Materials Manufacturers (NEA), and the Research Institute for Fragrance Materials (RIFM) and international literature sources as well. Endpoints in the assessment were aquatic organisms, sediment dwelling organisms, soil organisms, fish-eating predators and worm-eating predators. Predicted Environmental Concentrations (PECs) were calculated with the European Union System for the Evaluation of Substances (EUSES). Since monitoring data were available for several media, measured concentrations could be compared with predicted ones. Subsequently, one of the two was selected as the exposure concentration used for the risk characterisation.
    Een risico-evaluatie werd uitgevoerd van de polycyclische musken AHTN en HHCB in het milieu volgens het 'EU Technical Guidance Document for Environmental Risk Assessment for New and Existing Substances'. AHTN en HHCB worden gebruikt in geurstoffen die toegepast worden in cosmetica en wasmiddelen. Het zijn stoffen met een hoog volume waarvoor in 1995 voor Europa hoeveelheden van 585 ton voor AHTN en 1482 ton voor HHCB zijn gerapporteerd. De informatie die in deze evaluatie is gebruikt, is afkomstig van studies die aangeleverd zijn door de geurstoffen industrie, in Nederland vertegenwoordigd door de Vereniging van Geur- en Smaakstoffenfabrikanten (NEA) en het Research Institute for Fragrance Materials (RIFM). Daarnaast is gebruik gemaakt van gegevens uit de openbare literatuur. Het risico is bepaald voor waterorganismen, sedimentorganismen, bodemorganismen en vis-etende en worm-etende predatoren. De 'Predicted Environmental Concentrations' (PEC voorspelde concentraties in het milieu) zijn berekend met het 'European Union System for the Evaluation of Substances' (EUSES). Omdat monitoringgegevens beschikbaar waren voor diverse milieucompartimenten, zijn de voorspelde concentraties vergeleken met de gemeten concentraties. Vervolgens is een van deze concentraties gekozen voor gebruik in de risicokarakterisering.
