Analysis of Potentially Toxic Phthalate Plasticizers Used
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...
Phthalate and novel plasticizer concentrations in food items
We used retention times to identify phthalates and replacement plasticizers in food samples. Some chemicals were measured in both phases (BBzP, DnBP, DEP, DEHP, DMP, DnOP, DEHA, and DINCH)...
The effects of phthalate ester exposure on human health: A
Abstract. Phthalate esters (PAEs) are one of the most widely used plasticizers in polymer products and humans are increasingly exposed to them. The constant exposure to PAEs-contained products has raised some concerns against human health. Thus, the impacts of PAEs and their metabolites on human health require a comprehensive study for a better
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

- What is plasticizer phthalate?
- Plasticizer phthalate is a pollutant. Its teratogenic or carcinogenic effects on human. Phytotoxic effects of phthalate and its transmission through food chain. Abatement of phthalate via bioremediation. Microbe-mediated soil-phthalate bioaugmentation approaches.
- What phthalates are found in toys?
- The predominant phthalates detected were diisononyl phthalate (DINP) and di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP). Other phthalates identified in high concentrations in some toys include isomeric mixes of diisooctyl phthalate (DIOP) and diisodecyl phthalate (DIDP).
- Are there phthalates in soft PVC toys?
- The majority (64) were PVC or had PVC sections. In almost all the soft PVC toys analysed, phthalates comprised a sizeable proportion (most frequently 10–40%) of the total weight of the toy. The predominant phthalates detected were diisononyl phthalate (DINP) and di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP).
- Do phthalate cleaners work in contaminated sites?
- In addition, scientific data related to phthalate degrading genes and related gene products are still not sufficient. Considering these challenges, it can be said that field application with potent microbial inoculants in contaminated sites as phthalate cleaners may not work effectively. We have to find out ways to overcome these barriers.
- Is bioremediation a solution to phthalate toxicity?
- Nevertheless, the release of these compounds in the environment is unabated. Bioremediation has been suggested as one of the ways of mitigating this menace, but studies regarding the field applications of phthalate utilizing microbes for this purpose are limited.
- How can phthalate be biodegradable?
- For this reason, additional supplementations of co-substrates such as acetate, glucose, or yeast extract are added to the media to accelerate bacterial growth and enhance phthalate biodegradability (Ahuactzin-Pérez et al., 2018; Gao and Wen, 2016; Li et al., 2019; Ren et al., 2016).
