Recent Progress in Safety Evaluation Studies on Plasticizers and
to examine the effects of plasticizers on blood, their accumulation in tissues, and their other toxicological eSects in experimental animals. Of the many plasticizers, DEPH has been mainly used for these studies. Acute Toxicity Studies Miyahara et al.

PRELIMINARY REPORT ON THE SAFETY OF MEDICAL DEVICES CONTAINING DEHP
was calculated in recent risk evaluations. Therefore an overview is presented on the safety of DEHP in medical devices. In addition, the availability, suitability and safety of alternative plasticizers for DEHP have been evaluated. Certain medical procedures used in high risk groups result in a significant exposure to DEHP.
- How to improve the health and environmental issues concerning plasticizers?
- The use of environmentally-benign plasticizers is another way to improve the health and environmental issues concerning plasticizers. Among the number of factors that decide the feasibility of a substance to be used as a plasticizer, toxicological information is an increasingly important one.
- Can human exposure studies be used to assess the health impacts of plastic?
- Data from human exposure studies are being used to assess the health impacts of plastic use worldwide, informing decisions about the trade-offs involved in reducing plastic production and consumption.
- Does plasticizer deteriorate thermomechanical properties?
- The plasticizer industry has grown with the use of plastics worldwide. Recent plasticizer research has focused on technological challenges including leaching, migration, evaporation and degradation of plasticizers, each of which eventually lead to deterioration of thermomechanical properties in plastics.
- How do plasticizers affect the environment?
- Human and environmental exposure to plasticizers can occur in different ways. The most prevalent causes of these exposures include point-source pollution from plasticizer manufacturing or plastic formulation, and leaching, migration and evaporation of plasticizers.
- Is human exposure to plasticizers a hazard?
- Human exposure to certain plasticizers has been debated recently because di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, used in medical plastics, has been found at detectable levels in the blood supply and potential health risks may arise from its chronic exposure.
- How do we estimate the global health effects of plastics?
- To estimate the global health effects due to plastics, it was necessary to rely on regional estimates from meta-analysis rather than country-specific chemical exposure data. In this meta-analysis, certain regions, such as Africa, had fewer studies available on phthalates, which may result in higher error of estimated values.
