    Title
    Health Risk Assessment for Organotins in Textiles
    Translated Title
    Beoordeling Gezondheidsrisico Organotins in Textiel
    Publiekssamenvatting
    In januari 1998 werd het RIVM gevraagd een voorlopige risicobeoordeling uit te voeren voor organische tinverbindingen (organotins) in textiel. Metingen uitgevoerd door de Inspectie Gezondheidsbescherming, Waren en Veterinaire Zaken wezen op de aanwezigheid van deze potentieel toxische verbindingen in diverse consumentenproducten waaronder kleding voor volwassenen en kinderen en producten voor hygienische verzorging van vrouwen en jonge kinderen. De eerste beoordeling van dit probleem verscheen in maart 1998; dit advies werd ingebracht in het lopende overleg tussen de Inspectie en de industrie over dit probleem. Reeds in een vroege fase gaf de industrie aan dat de bronnen van verontreiniging waren opgespoord en vervolgends uit het productieproces verwijderd. Daarmee was de vraagstelling teruggebracht tot de beoordeling of er sprake was van een risico in de periode dat de verontreiniging nog wel aanwezig was (historisch risico). Bovendien leverde de industrie verdere informatie die gebruikt kon worden om initiele risicobeoordeling nader uit te werken. Deze nieuwe gegevens gaven grotendeel antwoord op de punten die in het voorlopige advies wezen op mogelijke risico's voor de gezondheid. op enkele punten blijven er beperkingen in de beschikbare gegevens maar overall concluderen we dat de verontreinigde items waarschijnlijk geen enkel risico vormden voor de gezondheid van de consument.<br>
    In January 1998 RIVM was asked to carry out a preliminary risk assessment on organic tin compounds (organotins) in textiles. Measurements carried out by the Dutch Health Protection Inspectorate had shown these potentially toxic compounds to be present in several consumer products, including items of clothing worn by adults and children and hygiene products for women and infants. The initial assessment of this problem by RIVM (dated March 1998) was used in the ongoing discussions between the Health Indpectorate and industry. At an early stage in these discussions the industry indicated the sources of organotin contamination to heve been located and subsequently removed from the production process, thus reducing the issue under investigation to the question of whether there had been a risk for consumers at the time when the contamination was still in place (historical risk). In addition, industry provided further information that could be used to improve on the initial risk assessment. These new data largely cleared up the points of concern noted in our preliminary risk assessment. Some data limitations remain but overall the conclusion is that most likely the contaminated items did not pos any health risk for the consumers using them.<br>
