Human health impacts of exposure to phthalate plasticizers: An overview
We aim to draw inferences as to the amount and quality of evidence pertaining to specific health outcomes arising from phthalate exposure; identify key evidence gaps and provide a basis of evidence for future policy and regulation concerning plastics and phthalates and research questions regarding the potential health impacts from phthalates and recycling of plastics via circular economy.
Diverging trends of plasticizers (phthalates and non-phthalates)
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
Plasticizers: Types, Uses, Classification, Selection & Regulation
Due to its low cost and generally good performance, DEHP is widely employed as a plasticizer in manufacturing articles made of PVC. Melting point: 50°C Boiling point: 250 - 257°C at 0.5 kPa Structure of DEHP DEHP offers good gelling, satisfactory electrical properties and helps to produce highly elastic compounds with reasonable cold strength.
Determination of plasticizer residues in tea by solid phase
Generally, DEHP or DEHA was the most abundant plasticizer in all samples, except for decaffeinated black tea, which showed DBP value 18 times higher than the average of the other samples and for green peppermint flavored tea, which showed DiNP residues.
Nonphthalate Plasticizers in House Dust from Multiple Countries: An
In 2017, the phthalate-free plasticizers accounted for 35% of global plasticizer consumption, up from 12% in 2005, and were expected to increase to 40% in 2025. (9,10) NPPs are complex in chemical structures, mainly containing functional groups such as benzoate, sebacate, azelate, adipate, terephthalate, trimellitate, citrate, oleate, and a few
- Which phthalate plasticizer is best?
- Policies and ethics Phthalate plasticizers, such as dioctyl phthalate (DOP), di (iso-octyl) phthalate (DIOP), di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP), di (iso-butyl) phthalate (DIBP), and di (iso-nonyl) phthalate (DINP), have the earliest use, the best performance, the...
- What are the different types of phthalate plasticizers?
- Phthalate plasticizers, such as dioctyl phthalate (DOP), di (iso-octyl) phthalate (DIOP), di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP), di (iso-butyl) phthalate (DIBP), and di (iso-nonyl) phthalate (DINP), have the earliest use, the best performance, the broadest application, and the most production globally.
- 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.
- Can plasticizer replace phthalate plasticizer?
- Plasticizer synthesized from fatty acid may entirely replace the phthalate plasticizer (dioctyl phthalate, DOP). The overall performance of plasticized PVC sheets with synthetic plasticizers was comparable to the DOP.
- What are phthalates used for?
- In addition to their use as plasticizers, phthalates also find their applications in many personal care products such as colognes, perfumes, soaps, shampoos, and other cosmetic products as a fragrance (Khalil et al., 2022).
- Is DOTP a phthalate plasticizer?
- According to this viewpoint, DOTP is only a temporary plasticizer product despite its relatively high market acceptance. Its toxicity tests are already under way. In China, more than 80% of the overall production capacity is on phthalate plasticizers and only less than 20% on non-phthalate plasticizers.
