PACEMweb is an online tool designed to estimate the aggregate exposure to substances in personal care products and household cleaning products. New knowledge or insights may lead to model changes and updates of the tool. Adjustments to the model to a new version will be clearly communicated via the website. The actual version is mentioned in the footer of the PACEMweb page.
The application of PACEMweb, including the evaluation and selection of data, requires expert knowledge on consumer exposure assessment. When used as a starting point for risk assessment, adequate interpretation of the results of the model calculation is required. RIVM National Institute for Public Health and the Environment is not responsible for the consequences of the operational use of PACEMweb.
RIVM produces and maintains its websites with the greatest possible care. We have tried to make all information as accessible and ‘user-friendly’ as possible. RIVM wishes to promote the appropriate use of calculation models and the correct interpretation of maps and graphs. Please ask for assistance if necessary.
Despite the ongoing care and attention we devote to our websites, it is possible that mistakes will occasionally be made. We ask for your understanding and hope that you will give us the opportunity to correct any errors or omissions; please send us an e-mail at pacemweb@rivm.nl.
