Abstract
Since the exact definition and management system of EDCs differs according to each country and organization, it is necessary to establish a system for evaluation of basic information and transmission of correct information. In this study, we conducted a survey on the recognition of 2000 general public including the sensitive class. As a result, it was found that the general public 's awareness about EDCs was insufficient. Based on the results, it is necessary to establish the basis of the harmonized communication management system for the EDCs.
