AOS is milder to the human skin than, for example, LAS or alcohol sulfate [145]. Safety information on AOS has been amassed and reviewed by consultants on behalf of the U.S. Soap and Detergents Association [146]. Their conclusion is that AOS, when manufactured under well-defined conditions, is entirely safe for use in household products and toiletries.

The Japan Soap and Detergent Association has voluntarily implemented monitoring surveys since 1994 on the concentration of surfactants in the surface layer water of rivers in Japan in order to monitor the situation of persistence of surfactants in public waters and evaluate the effects ofsurfactants on aquatic organisms [2 ]. Table 8.7 shows the measurement results of the concentrations of four surfactants regulated by the PRTR system in the major Japanese rivers during the period from June 1998 to September 2003 (mean levels and highest levels) [2]. The highest levels in the table were all lower than the predicted no-effect concentrations (PNEC) [3, 4] and therefore it was considered that the surfactants cause almost no risks to the ecosystem in the environmental waters.
