Findings assess systems to help avoid animal testing
Article published in Frontiers in Toxicology
The use of in vitro new approach methodologies (NAMs) to assess the potential for respiratory irritation depends on several factors, including the specifics of exposure methods and cell/tissue-based test systems. A new workshop report co-authored by the American Cleaning Institute (ACI) examines this topic in the…
1. Derivation of Hazard Quotient
Risks were characterized using the HQ approach (Nabholz 1991). HQs can be used to characterize the
probability of adverse effects to ecological receptors and often focuses on phylogenetic groups (e.g.,
algae, invertebrates, and fish). HQs are defined as the quotient of the PECs and PNECs:
𝐻𝑄 =
𝑃𝐸𝐶
𝑃𝑁𝐸𝐶
If a PEC is less than a PNEC the likelihood that an organism will be impacted by the ingredient is low.
In contrast, the assumption that an…
Measuring the Size of the Cleaning Products Industry
The combined upstream and downstream economic impact connected to cleaning product manufacturing in the United States helped support nearly $200 billion in annual output and almost 700,000 jobs.
The report, reflecting economic data from 2019, provides detailed snapshots of the essential nature of the cleaning product supply chain in the year prior to the worldwide spread of…

Transforming Our Capabilities, provides important insight into the whole-of-government work
underway to ensure the U.S. responds rapidly and effectively in the event of a future pandemic.
We are writing to both commend your efforts and to advocate for our industries…
The U.S. Oleochemical industry is the original "green" chemistry and has historically supplied raw materials used in the manufacture of cleaning products. Federal biofuels policies, via tax incentives and the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS2), provide an economic disadvantage to these traditional uses. The American Cleaning Institute (ACI) works to restore equitable access to feedstocks used in both the production of…
