 abstract = {Behavioral experiments were performed on 342 subjects
to determine whether behavior, which could affect the level of
personal exposure, is exhibited in response to odors and labels
which are commonly used for household chemicals. Potential for
exposure was assessed by having subjects perform cleaning tasks
presented as a product preference test, and noting the amount of
cleaning product used, the time taken to complete the cleaning
task, the product preference, and the exhibition of avoidance
behavior. Product odor was found to affect product preference in
the study with the pleasant odored product being preferred to the
neutral and unpleasant products. Product odor was also found to
influence the amount of product used; less of the odored products
was used compared to the neutral product. The experiment also found
that very few of the subjects in the study read the product labels,
precluding analysis of the effect of such labels on product use. A
postexperiment questionnaire on household cleaning product
purchasing and use was administered to participants. The results
indicate that significant gender-differences exist. Women in the
sample reported more frequent purchase and we of cleaning products
resulting in an estimated potential exposure 40% greater than for
the men in the sample. This finding is somewhat countered by the
fact that women more frequently reported exposure avoidance
behavior, such as using gloves. Additional significant gender
differences were found in the stated importance of product
qualities, such as odor and environmental quality. This study
suggests the need for further research, in a more realistic use
setting, on the impact of public education, labels, and product
odor on preference, use, and exposure for different types of
consumer products.},
