1. Contact with a chemical occurs in three ways:
. ingestion exposure: present
. inhalation exposure: present
. dermal exposure or ocular exposure: absent from history, thus the ability of a chemical to be released from a substance (plastic coated blades) is an important factor in determining how much exposure actually occurs. Other factors that can influence a person's risk for adverse health effects from environmental chemicals include age, gender, general health, genetic differences, and lifestyle choices.
2. Studies conducted by the California Environmental Protection Agency Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment and the Norwegian Institute of Public Health to assess the potential for ingestion exposure to the chemicals in plastic coated blades have concluded that health risks resulting from the ingestion are low.
