The report “Healthy Japan 21” sets out Japanese public health targets for the year 2010. Under the item of “Nourishment/eating habits”, detailed numerical values are given for the whole human lifespan. For adult women, in particular, the pregnancy period is important, as poor nourishment and bad habits can sow the seeds of lifestyle-related disease. It is important to lay the foundations for healthy eating habits and dietary education activity early on. Now, the Dietary Education Law, enforced in 2005, has provided backing for such activity, and dietary education activities specific to each region are being developed. By teaching children the value of home cooking, it is important to nip lifestyle-related disease in the bud.

Allergic contact dermatitis is an important and common health problem. It is known that the large number of chemicals used in household products, including biocides, dyes, rubber-accelerators, solvents, and UV-absorbers, have the inherent potential to cause skin sensitization. With cases of allergic contact dermatitis being reported constantly in many countries, the need for precise criteria is clear. In order to prevent the adverse health effects caused by exposure to skin-sensitizing chemicals, it is essential as a first step to identify sensitizing chemicals and quantitatively evaluate their potency. Such data have been obtained from animal experiments, especially with guinea pigs and mice. However, recent progress in computer technologies and mounting demands for priority to animal welfare have made it necessary to include other methods such as in silico prediction of quantitative structure-activity relationships and in vitro methods using cultured immunocytes. In the present article, recent methods of evaluating skin-sensitizing chemicals and of applying the data in the risk management process are reviewed.
