In March 2020, in order to reduce the impact of toxic plasticizer exposure on students' health, Toxics-Free Corps launched a systematic product safety market survey for eraser, an important category of stationery. The eraser samples collected in the survey come from the three E-commerce platforms including Taobao, Jingdong and Pinduoduo, as well as the on-site purchase of offline stores, with a total of 86 items, involving 33 well-known stationery brands. The investigators first used XRF analyzer to analyze the materials of all 86 kinds of eraser samples, and then sent 62 of them to a qualified third-party laboratory to test the content of 6 kinds of phthalic acid esters (PAEs).
