香水；化粧水及噴髮膠中甲醇含量之調查檢驗（II）

INVESTIGATION ON METHANOL CONTENT OF MARKETED COSMETICS

甲醇可經口、贖或呼吸道攝入人體，引起中毒、失明或致死。我國化粧品衛生管理條例明訂含醇製品每100ml中含甲醇不得超過0.2ml（0.2％以下）。本局為瞭解市售噴髮膠等之品質改善情形，於七十四年間展開第二度調查檢驗。甲醇之定量法，先以變色酸法篩選甲醇含量是否超過規定（0.2％），如有超過規定，則再依據藥物食品檢驗局調查研究年報的氣相層析法項目中，以PorapakS為充填劑的測定條件定量。將本年（七十四年）抽購之100件檢體與七十二年抽購之122件檢體，其檢驗結果相互比較如下表一。由上得知：七十四年抽購之檢體中，香水、化粧水的不合格率，些微提高，但不合格的2件，都未經地方衛生機關備案，且廠名不詳。而噴髮膠類之不合格率已顯著降低。 Methanol can be taken into human body through mouth, skin or respiratory tract so that it can cause toxicity, blindness or death. In accordance with the hygienic regulations of our country, the content of methanol in the cosmetics may not be over 0.2 ml of 100 ml (less than 0.2%). To administer the quality improvement of marketed products, the Bureau reinvestigated one hundred case samples in 1985. The analytical results showed that two of fifty-four perfume and lotion samples, ie. 3.7%. While sixteen of fourty-six hair spray samples, ie. 26.1%, were in violation. Compared to the result of first investigation, the percentage of violation is distinctly decreased.
