The analysis identifies and quantifies the residual level APEO (Alkylphenolethoxylates) compounds in semi-processed wools (scoured, carbonised or wool top).
Concerns over the toxicity and ecological impact of these compounds have seen restrictions put in place on their use and permissible residual levels in wool.
