A review of common non-ortho-phthalate plasticizers for use
Several non-ortho phthalate plasticizers, including ATBC, DEHA, DINCH, DOTP, and ESBO, are currently used in flexible PVC applications for food packaging and processing. The aim of this review is to summarize the available toxicity, migration, and human biomonitoring data.
Risk Management for Phthalates | US EPA
This notice allows EPA the opportunity to evaluate the intended use and, if necessary, to prohibit or limit that activity. October 23, 2014: EPA updated its list of Work Plan chemicals for assessment by adding a group of phthalates, among other chemicals, for evaluation. The update reflects new data on chemical releases and potential exposures.
Review of Exposure and Toxicity Data for Phthalate Substitutes
Dialkyl ortho-phthalates (o-DAPs) comprise a class of commercially important compounds used primarily as plasticizers in polyvinyl chloride (PVC). They can be found in floor and wall-coverings, and common household products such as children’s soft plastic toys.

Diisononyl phthalate (DINP) 28553-12-0, 68515-48-0 Diisodecyl phthalate (DIDP) 26761-40-0, 68515-49-1 a CAS, Chemical Abstracts Service In addition to the six regulated phthalates, there are also numerous other phthalates and phthalate mixtures in commerce. Other phthalates, including, but not limited to, di-n-propyl phthalate,
Regulators And Retailers Raise Pressure On Phthalates
DEHP, also known as dioctyl phthalate, is currently banned at levels greater than 0.1% in toys and child care products in the U.S. and EU, as well as in cosmetics in the EU. It is still the largest-volume general-purpose PVC plasticizer globally, however, because of its widespread use around the world in other products.
- What phthalates are toxic?
- Other phthalates, including, but not limited to, di-n-propyl phthalate, diisobutyl phthalate, di-n-pentyl phthalate, dicyclohexyl phthalate, and di(2-propylheptyl) phthalate may also contribute to the cumulative health risks of phthalates. The purpose of this report is to provide a brief overview of the toxicity of the o-DAP’s.
- Do phthalates from recycled plastics affect human health?
- We found no reviews of epidemiological human studies on the impact of phthalates from recycled plastics on human health. We recommend that future research should use urine samples as exposure measures, consider confounders in analyses and measure impacts on female reproductive systems.
- 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.
- Are phthalates a risk factor for human health?
- Graphic produced using data from Maffini et al., 2019, Maffini et al., 2021, a review of 41 epidemiological studies which associated increased risk for human health effects with levels of phthalates. (For interpretation of the references to colour in this figure legend, the reader is referred to the web version of this article.)
- Does phthalate exposure affect other health outcomes?
- Other health outcomes We found single reviews reporting the effect of patient phthalate exposure on a range of other health outcomes, including atopic dermatitis, thyroid function, bone health, inflammation, oxidative stress and hearing loss, Table 23.
- Are phthalates safe?
- Health impacts of phthalates associated with exposures below current European Regulatory Levels deemed safe (indicated by the blue vertical line).
