Description of the Nature of Accidental Misuse of Chemicals and Chemical Products (DeNaMiC)
Project
Project code: BfR-QUER-08-1342-437
Contract period: 01.09.2006
- 31.03.2009
Purpose of research: Applied research
The DeNaMiC project seeks to provide an overview of the nature and extent of accidental poisoning from chemicals in household chemical consumer products in the European region and detail information on the circumstances of where and why such exposures occur (eg, in the home due to unsatisfactory storage).
The first step in the process was to defi ne and limit the events and scope of data to be analysed and collected to only include accidental poisonings and exposure to household chemical consumer products and agree the defi nitions for a ‘consumer product’ and ‘circumstances of exposure’. Key components included identifying and assessing the existing reporting systems employed by Poisons Centres to determine where there are gaps in information and to summarise accidental poisoning following exposure to these agents.
