Phthalate and novel plasticizer concentrations in food items
High molecular weight phthalates like di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and diisononyl phthalate (DiNP) are commonly used as plasticizers in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) materials such as food
Diverging trends of plasticizers (phthalates and non
Background European chemicals management aims to protect human health and the environment from legacy and emerging contaminants. The plasticizer market changed in response to the restriction of low molecular weight (LMW) phthalate plasticizers such as Di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) due to their hazardous properties. We investigated patterns and trends of 19 regulated and emerging
Analysis of Potentially Toxic Phthalate Plasticizers
Studies have shown that plasticizers containing a benzene ring would result in low migration rates. The most common plasticizers used in industrial scale are based on phthalates, such as dioctyl
Deep Dive into Plastic Monomers, Additives, and Processing
This study was conducted in four steps: (1) identification of relevant data sources, (2) inclusion of relevant substances and information, (3) categorization of substance types and use patterns, and (4) identification of substances of potential concern ( Figure 1 ).
Molecular Toxicity Mechanism of Plasticizers in the Reservoir
They are not permanently covalently bound to the plastics. Therefore, they can slowly diffuse into the reservoir environment and cause environmental pollution. Plasticizers are ubiquitous existence, and their metabolites were found in the air, soil, water, and biota [ 1, 2, 3 ]. Bisphenol A (BPA) and phthalates (PAEs) are the most essential
- Are children exposed to phthalates and phthalate plasticizers?
- Children are exposed to a wide range of chems. in their everyday environments, including the preschool. In this study, we evaluated the levels of phthalates, non-phthalate plasticizers and bisphenols in dust from 100 Swedish preschools and identified important exposure factors in the indoor environment.
- Is phthalate exposure pervasive?
- (American Chemical Society) Phthalate exposure is pervasive and concerning due to assocns. with adverse health effects. Exposure/exposure pathways of six phthalates were assessed for 51 women (18-44 years old) in Ontario, Canada, based on measured phthalate concns. in hand wipes and indoor surfaces in their residences.
- Are plastic Phthalates causing health problems?
- The Endocrine Society and the International Pollutants Elimination Network (IPEN), recently summarised the widespread health impacts of various endocrine disrupting chemicals in plastics including phthalates, and acknowledged the growing concern around such chemicals in the circular economy (Flaws et al., 2020).
- Can phthalates be used as plasticizers in occupational settings?
- A review. Phthalates, a group of ubiquitous industrial chems., have been widely used in occupational settings, mainly as plasticizers in a variety of applications. Occupational exposure to different phthalates has been studied in several occupational settings using human biomonitoring (HBM).
- Does phthalate toxicity affect microbial diversity?
- In recent years, many metagenomic profiles of phthalate-enriched soil have been constructed to analyze the effect of phthalate toxicity on soil enzymes and microbial diversity (Cheng et al., 2018; Ma et al., 2019). Several reports disclosed the gradual abolishment of microbial communities due to PAE contaminations along with the
- Can phthalates cause developmental toxicity?
- Risk assessment calcns. indicate that, using realistic exposure scenarios, the worst-case combined exposure to phthalates assocd. with developmental toxicity exceeded a HI of 1 so may cause adverse developmental effects.
