Green Cleaning: Exposure Characterization and Adoption Process Among Custodians

摘要 本研究旨在调查环境优选清洁的使用和影响 产品（环保产品）和消毒剂，以评估其对健康的影响，并 实施有效的战略，防止接触并减少潜在的健康风险， 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 可能有助于为减少对这些目标接触提供数量上的理由 并协助向无害环境方案过渡。整个提案需要一个迭代的 工会和研究人员共同解决健康和安全问题的方法 关注，参与测量暴露和健康影响，并审查数据， 生成的. D.2.具体目的和目标： 1.识别实施绿色清洁计划的障碍和激励措施。 2.确定可能阻碍实施或使用的语言和文化障碍 绿色清洁产品。 3.提供清洁产品暴露的实际使用表征， 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.识别使用清洁产品引起的疾病或不良健康事件， 目的是评估绿色清洁产品对健康的影响。 6.制定干预措施以提高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，并规范采用 “绿色清洁”产品在各国家机构工作的保管员中。

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.
