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
Ferro to enhance production of non-phthalate plasticizers
Ferro Corp is adding significantly to its plasticizer product offerings by installing 28 000 tonnes of annual production capacity for dibenzoate-based plasticizers at its operations in Antwerp, Belgium. The new capacity for the non-phthalate, fast-fusing plasticizer is expected to come on-stream in the second half of 2014.
Nonphthalate Plasticizers in House Dust from Multiple
Along with the restrictions of phthalate esters (PAEs), a variety of nonphthalate plasticizers (NPPs) have been increasingly used for industrial needs. Knowledge remains limited on the environmental occurrences, fate, and human exposure risks of many emerging NPPs. In this study, we investigated a suite of 45 NPPs along with the major PAEs in house dust from five regions in the Asia-Pacific
