HomeMigration of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from plastic and rubber articles
Final report on the development of a migration measurement method
Metadatos de publicación
Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) constitute a large group of chemically related substances many of which are known carcinogens. To minimise human exposure there are already several pieces of EU legislation which limit their presence in certain food products, as well as in water and ambient air. Under the REACH regulation (EC 1907/2006 Annex XVII, Entry 50), eight priority PAHs have for some time been restricted in extender oils used in tyres. Although not added deliberately to consumer products, PAHs can still be present as impurities. An amendment of the above mentioned legislation (Regulation EU 1272/2013) establishes content limits for the eight PAHs of 0.5 mg kg-1 for plastic and rubber components of toys/childcare articles, and 1 mg kg-1 for all other consumer articles, in direct and prolonged, or short-term repetitive, contact with the skin or oral cavity. In May 2016 DG JRC and DG GROW signed an Administrative Arrangement (AA 34003) known as the STANPAHs project. The main objective of this contract was for the JRC to provide scientific support in the implementation and potential amendment of the restriction on polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, in particular concerning paragraphs 5 and 6 of entry 50 of Annex XVII to the REACH legislation. The main objectives of the project were: a) to gain a better understanding of the migration behaviour of certain PAHs in plastic and rubber components of articles, and b) to develop a reliable methodology to determine PAH migration from these matrices, under conditions simulating, to the best possible extent, dermal contact (including the oral cavity). This report presents the outcomes of the experimental studies carried out at JRC and the achievements towards fulfilling these objectives.
