Presence of Plasticizer Di-2(ethylhexyl)phthalate in Primed
Di-2 (ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) is the plasticizer used to make polyvinyl chloride (PVC) flexible. It is present in a wide variety of hospital supplies including bags for intravenous fluids, blood storage, and total parental nutrition; cardiopulmonary bypass and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation circuits (ECMO); and hemodialysis equipment.
Presence of plasticizer di-2(ethylhexyl)phthalate in primed
Seven circuits including three uncoated (Medtronic, Medtronic with albumin, and Medtronic Super Tygon) and four attenuated surfaces (Carmeda, COBE Smart, Medtronic Trillium, and Terumo x-coated) were primed with Plasmalyte A. Samples of the circuit prime were collected over a period of 2 weeks and were analyzed for DEHP, using gas chromatography.
DEHP and its active metabolites: leaching from different
Introduction: Di (2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) is suspected to be toxic for several reasons. During contact with a lipophilic medium, DEHP leaks from polyvinylchloride (PVC), but its influence on inflammatory reactions remains unknown.

Exposure Assessment:Potential for the Presence of Phthalates
phthalate (DBP), Benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP), and Di-(2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) may not be present in concentrations above 0.1 percent in accessible component parts of children’s toys and child care articles (CPSC, 2014). In addition, the CPSIA set an interim prohibition (in place until the
- Is plasticizer di-(2-ethylhexyl phthalate) a endocrine disruptor?
- Plasticizer di-(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) is known as an endocrine disruptor and a peroxisome proliferator. A currently epidemiological study has suggested that daily high DEHP intake from phthalate-tainted foods in children may be a risk factor for renal dysfunction. DEHP can leach from medical …
- Does di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate interact with rice plants?
- Di- (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) as widely utilized plasticizer has aroused increasing concerns since its endocrine disrupting effects and continuous accumulation in biota. To date, the interaction mechanism between DEHP and rice plants has not been clearly illustrated at molecular level.
- Which phthalate is used in plastic packaging?
- Di- (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), the most common PAEs, is frequently utilized in food packaging, agricultural plastic film, medical devices, and flexible polyvinyl chloride (Mustafa et al., 2021).
- Why are phthalate esters used in plasticizers & softeners?
- The surging demand of global plastic products stimulates the increasing production and consumption of phthalate esters (PAEs), which are extensively used as plasticizers and softeners (Liu et al., 2022; Xu et al., 2021).
- Does DEHP interfere with enzyme catalysis?
- A high percentage of DEGs involved in “response to stress”, “metabolic process”, “carbohydrate metabolic process” and “secondary metabolic process” was significantly altered by gene ontology analyses, suggesting a powerful interference by DEHP on molecular function and enzyme catalysis reaction.
- How does DEHP affect DNA synthesis?
- Transcriptomics analyses unraveled that DEHP exposure had strong negative effects on genes associated with antioxidative components synthesis, DNA binding, nucleotide excision repair, intracellular homeostasis, and anabolism.
