Abstract This study is designed to investigate the use and impact of environmentally preferably cleaning products (EPPs) and disinfectants among custodians, to assess their health effects, and to implement effective strategies to prevent exposures and reduce potential health risks, and evaluate impacts. In addition, the characterization of phthalates as a specific chemical species of concern may help to provide a quantitative rationale for exposure reduction to these target constituencies and assist with transitions to EPPs. The overall proposal takes an iterative approach whereby the union community and researchers jointly address health and safety concerns, participate in measuring exposures and health effects, and review data as it is generated. D.2. Specific Aims and Objectives: 1. To identify barriers and incentives for implementing green cleaning programs. 2. To identify language and cultural barriers for janitors that may inhibit implementation or use of green-cleaning products. 3. To provide an actual-use characterization of exposures to cleaning products among janitorial workers. 4. To differentiate and compare the exposures to green-cleaning and prior/ traditional cleaning product use. 5. To identify disorders or adverse health events from the use of cleaning products, with the objective of assessing health impacts of green cleaning products. 6. To develop an intervention to improve the acceptance of green cleaning programs, to ensure proper use of green cleaners and disinfectants, and to standardize the adoption of "green cleaning" products among custodians working at the various state institutions.

摘要 这项研究旨在调查环保清洁的使用和影响。 产品(EPPS)和消毒剂对保管人的影响，评估其对健康的影响，并 实施有效的战略，以防止暴露和减少潜在的健康风险，以及 评估影响。此外，邻苯二甲酸酯作为一种特定的化学物种的表征 值得关注的问题可能有助于为减少对这些目标的暴露提供一个量化的理由 并协助向EPP过渡。整个提案需要迭代 工会社区和研究人员共同解决健康和安全问题的方法 关注问题，参与测量暴露和对健康的影响，并按原样审查数据 已生成。 D.2.具体目的和目标： 1.确定实施绿色清洁计划的障碍和激励措施。 2.为看门人找出可能阻碍执行或使用的语言和文化障碍 绿色清洁产品。 3.提供接触清洁产品的实际使用特征，包括 清洁工。 4.区分和比较绿色清洁和之前/传统清洁的暴露 产品使用。 5.识别因使用清洁产品而引起的疾病或不良健康事件， 目的评价绿色清洁产品对健康的影响。 6.制定干预措施，以提高对绿色清洁计划的接受度， 确保正确使用绿色清洁剂和消毒剂，并标准化采用 在不同的国家机构工作的保管员之间的“绿色清洁”产品。
