What do the Clean, Low, Watch and Swap levels mean?

They are cut from a continuous concern level the app computes from the sourced claims that the chosen evidence lens shows: each claim counts its concern class, tier weight, confidence and dose relevance, combined worst-first with a decay so one serious finding outweighs many small ones, then scaled by how much of the substance reaches you in this use. Clean is below 0.35, Low below 1.1, Watch below 2.0 and Swap above that, on a 0 to 3 scale.

Sourced concerns (4)

ConsensusRestrictedconfidence 95%

UV-328 is globally prohibited for manufacture, placing on the market, and use under the Stockholm Convention due to its persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic (PBT) properties, with the EU implementing this prohibition and setting strict unintentional trace contaminant limits (e.g., ≤1 mg/kg from 2029).

Why here: Its widespread use in plastics and food contact materials led to its presence in the environment and potential for human exposure, including through child ingestion.
What would have to be true: Ingestion from products where it was previously used as an additive; now restricted to unintentional trace contaminant levels (e.g., ≤1 mg/kg from 2029 in the EU).

ConsensusEndocrineconfidence 90%

UV-328 is classified as an endocrine-disrupting chemical, exhibiting antiandrogenic activity after metabolism.

Why here: UV-328 is used as an additive in plastics, including food contact materials, and can be ingested by children through contaminated food, household dust, and breast milk.
What would have to be true: Ingestion from products where it is used as an additive; regulatory limits are now in place for its presence.

ConsensusMetabolicconfidence 90%

Repeated-dose toxicity studies in mammals have shown that UV-328 causes damage to the liver and kidneys.

Why here: UV-328 is used as an additive in plastics, including food contact materials, and can be ingested by children through contaminated food, household dust, and breast milk.
What would have to be true: Ingestion from products where it is used as an additive; regulatory limits are now in place for its presence.

EmergingEndocrineconfidence 80%

Infants and young children may face higher susceptibility to UV-328 exposure through ingestion due to their lower body weight and weaker metabolic capacity, with the substance detected in breast milk and children's toys.

Why here: Children are exposed through specific routes like breast milk, contaminated food, and mouthing of toys containing the substance.
What would have to be true: Ingestion via breast milk (estimated daily intake for infants calculated in studies), contaminated food, and leaching from children's toys.
The other side: Some studies indicate that cumulative exposure of children to benzotriazole UV stabilizers (BUVS) through breast milk and dust is below reference dose limits, suggesting low health risks through these specific routes.

Sourced concerns (3)

ConsensusRestrictedconfidence 90%

UV-328 is classified as a Persistent Organic Pollutant (POP) under the Stockholm Convention, requiring global action for its elimination due to its adverse effects on human health and the environment, including potential exposure through polluted air.

Why here: UV-328 is a non-reactive plastic additive that can migrate and leach out of plastic matrices and be released into the environment, including airborne particles and dust, making inhalation a relevant exposure route.
What would have to be true: Inhalation of UV-328 present in polluted air, dust, mist, gas, or vapors.

EmergingEndocrineconfidence 80%

Studies have linked UV-328 to endocrine-disrupting effects, including antiandrogenic activity, when inhaled as contaminated dust or airborne particles.

Why here: UV-328 can become airborne from plastic products and other materials, leading to human inhalation exposure, and once in the body, its metabolites can interact with hormone receptors.
What would have to be true: Inhalation of contaminated dust or airborne particles containing UV-328, particularly in environments with elevated levels from plastic emissions.

EmergingMetabolicconfidence 80%

UV-328 is associated with liver and kidney toxicity in mammals based on repeated-dose studies, and inhalation of contaminated dust is a potential exposure pathway.

Why here: As a substance that can become airborne, UV-328 can be inhaled, and once absorbed, it can exert systemic toxic effects on organs like the liver and kidneys.
What would have to be true: Repeated inhalation of contaminated dust or airborne particles containing UV-328.

ConsensusEndocrineconfidence 100%

UV-328 is an endocrine-disrupting chemical that has been linked to liver and kidney damage in mammals, and there is limited evidence for adverse effects on the male reproductive tract.

Why here: UV-328 can be released from various indoor products into indoor air and dust, leading to human exposure through inhalation and ingestion of contaminated dust.
What would have to be true: Inhalation of indoor air contaminated with volatilized UV-328 and ingestion of indoor dust containing UV-328, released from consumer products.

ConsensusEnvironmentalconfidence 100%

UV-328 is classified as a Substance of Very High Concern (SVHC) in the EU due to its persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic (PBT) and very persistent and very bioaccumulative (vPvB) properties, and has been added to the EU's Persistent Organic Pollutants (POP) Recast Regulation, leading to restrictions on its use and presence in articles.

Why here: UV-328 is not chemically bound to materials and can be released from indoor products such as furniture, toys, flooring, electronic equipment, detergents, and air fresheners into indoor air and dust through volatilization and abrasion, leading to human exposure.
What would have to be true: Inhalation of indoor air contaminated with volatilized UV-328 and ingestion of indoor dust containing UV-328, released from consumer products.
