Health risk assessment: Formaldehyde and heavy metals in finger paints
Summary
The purpose of this report is to develop a generic health risk assessment for exposure to formaldehyde and heavy metals from the use of finger paints by children (up to 3 years of age). This report only considers domestic, non-occupational, incidental exposure to formaldehyde and heavy metals from this route of exposure. Exposure scenarios were developed for the most common or likely exposure events.
