Datasets and R-codes complementing the Opinion of the Norwegian Scientific Committee for Food and Environment (VKM) "Risk-Benefit Assessment of Sunscreen"

These datasets complement the Opinion of the Norwegian Scientific Committee for Food and Environment (VKM) "Risk-Benefit Assessment of Sunscreen". They contain:

i) data on concentration of the UV filters bis-ethyl-hexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine (BEMT), butyl methoxydibenzoyl methane (BMDBM), 2-ethylhexyl salicylate (EHS), ethylhexyl triazone (EHT), octocrylene (OC), and titanium dioxide in nanoform (NP-TiO2) in commercially available sunscreens,

ii) data on amount sunscreen used, and

iii) data on dermal absorption of the UV filters bis-ethyl-hexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine (BEMT), butyl methoxydibenzoyl methane (BMDBM), 2-ethylhexyl salicylate (EHS), ethylhexyl triazone (EHT), octocrylene (OC), and titanium dioxide in nanoform (NP-TiO2).

The data are used in the probabilistic exposure estimations in the Opinion. The data were retrieved from open sources.

In addition, the R-codes used to perform the exposure estimation, are included.
