摘要：In order to evaluate the safety of antimicrobial/deodorant agents, a research on totally 1113 kinds of commercially available products in 47 stores has been performed in cooperation with the public health institutes and the administrative departments of Osaka prefecture for 6 years since 1991. For the classification of these research products, a new classification on household products was made. Furthermore, the results of this research were gathered in"the data base (DB) on commercially available products research, "which is a component of"the DB system on antimicrobial/deodorant agents."The DB system includes the DB on active ingredients (AIs) and so on. As a result of this research, AIs were directly shown in the labellings of 226 out of 1113 products investigated (20.3%). And then, AIs could be estimated from the names of processing in the labellings of 210 out of 1113 products (18.9%). Namely, consumers may be informed of AIs in only 39.2% of processed products. In other words, the results of our research revealed that AIs of antimicrobial/deodorant agents in commercially available products were inadequately informed of package labellings. Therefore, consumers cannot obtain enough information on antimicrobial/deodorant agents in commercially available products. Moreover, the results of this research have been utilized in the beginning of other investigations such as analytical investigation and so on, and have been used for the maintenance of the safety management of household products.
