Requirements for standard test method using mass spectrometry: reliability, versatility and sustainability based on the regulatory science research
In Japan, indoor air quality guidelines have been set for 13 chemicals since 1997, and these developments have continued on the basis of scientific discussions in the Committee on Indoor Air Pollution that was set up by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. However, the types and concentrations of these pollutants have been observed to be inconsistent over time due to lifestyle changes and the development of novel household products and building materials. Therefore, continuing the monitoring survey of indoor chemicals and the development of the standard test methods for substances that pose potential high health risks are essential for the protection of public health. When setting new standards and/or guideline values, it is necessary to present a standard test method whose validity has been evaluated for each target substance, and to carry out a monitoring survey using the method. In this presentation, I will introduce some of our regulatory science research from the perspectives of reliability, versatility, and sustainability of standard test method using mass spectrometry.
