An extensive review of the literature was performed to identify scientific articles relevant to the exposure assessment of potential plasticiser substances. The initial search resulted in a database consisting of 21,453 papers provided by EFSA. The relevance analysis of the documents performed by screening of titles and abstracts and applying inclusion and exclusion criteria identified 582 documents. In a subsequent step, a full text screening was carried out for further study selection and categorisation and resulted in 383 relevant documents, distributed over the following 8 areas of interests: Area 1 (plasticisers in food) - 72 references; Area 2 (dietary exposure) - 30 references; Area 3 (market share and food chain) - 21 references; Area 4 (migration of plasticisers) - 65 references; Area 5 (packaged food) - 9 references; Area 6 (nonfood use of plasticisers) - 73 references; Area 7 (non-dietary exposure to plasticisers) - 88 references; Area 8 (overall exposure) - 115 references. A data form was prepared, and highlevel information were extracted from each relevant reference, reporting information considered useful for the exposure assessment of potential plasticisers, in line with the areas of interest. In addition, a summary paragraph for each potential plasticiser was provided.

Abstract
An extensive review of the literature was performed to identify scientific articles relevant to the exposure assessment of potential plasticiser substances. The initial search resulted in a database consisting of 21,453 papers provided by EFSA. The relevance analysis of the documents performed by screening of titles and abstracts and applying inclusion and exclusion criteria identified 582 documents. In a subsequent step, a full text screening was carried out for further study selection and categorisation and resulted in 383 relevant documents, distributed over the following 8 areas of interests: Area 1 (plasticisers in food) - 72 references; Area 2 (dietary exposure) - 30 references; Area 3 (market share and food chain) - 21 references; Area 4 (migration of plasticisers) - 65 references; Area 5 (packaged food) - 9 references; Area 6 (nonfood use of plasticisers) - 73 references; Area 7 (non-dietary exposure to plasticisers) - 88 references; Area 8 (overall exposure) - 115 references. A data form was prepared, and highlevel information were extracted from each relevant reference, reporting information considered useful for the exposure assessment of potential plasticisers, in line with the areas of interest. In addition, a summary paragraph for each potential plasticiser was provided.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
