DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2015.01.059 Corpus ID: 42953449; The plasticizer benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP) alters the ecdysone hormone pathway, the cellular response to stress, the energy metabolism, and several detoxication mechanisms in Chironomus riparius larvae.
The plasticizer benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP) alters the ecdysone
Butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP) has been extensively used worldwide as a plasticizer in the polyvinyl chloride (PVC) industry and the manufacturing of many other products, and its presence in the aquatic environment is expected for decades. In the present study, the toxicity of BBP was investigated in Chironomus riparius aquatic larvae.
The plasticizer benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP) alters the ecdysone
Benzyl-butyl phthalate (BBP) is a high molecular weight phthalate that is primarily used as a plasticizer in the polymer industry as well as is also found in the composition of a wide range of
Benzyl butyl phthalate
Benzyl butyl phthalate ( BBP) is an organic compound historically used a plasticizer, but which has now been largely phased out due to health concerns. It is a phthalate ester of containing benzyl alcohol, and n -butanol tail groups. Like most phthalates, BBP is non-volatile and remains liquid over a wide range of temperatures.
Molecular Toxicity Mechanism of Plasticizers in the Reservoir
Presently, more than 20 types of PAEs have been found in the reservoir environment, of which six di-methyl phthalate (DMP), di-ethyl phthalate (DEP), di-butyl phthalate (DBP), benzyl-butyl phthalate (BBP), di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), and di-n-octyl phthalate (DNOP) are considered a priority chemical classified according to the United
- What is benzyl butyl phthalate?
- Benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP) is an organic compound historically used a plasticizer, but which has now been largely phased out due to health concerns. It is a phthalate ester of containing benzyl alcohol, and n -butanol tail groups. Like most phthalates, BBP is non-volatile and remains liquid over a wide range of temperatures.
- Is benzyl phthalate a toxic plasticizer?
- The aim of the present study was to evaluate the early effects of butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP), an extensively used plasticizer with known toxic and endocrine disrupting properties, in the aquatic larvae of C. riparius.
- Is BBP a phthalate?
- It is a phthalate ester of containing benzyl alcohol, and n -butanol tail groups. Like most phthalates, BBP is non-volatile and remains liquid over a wide range of temperatures. It was mostly used as a plasticizer for PVC, but was also a common plasticizer for PVCA and PVB.
- What is benzyl phthalate (BBP)?
- 1. Introduction Butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP) is a man-made phthalate ester mainly used as a plasticizer in the polyvinyl chloride (PVC) industry, although it can also be found in a variety of other products such as food conveyor belts, artificial leather, automotive trim, traffic cones ( CERHR, 2003 ), vinyl gloves and adhesives ( CPSC, 2010 ).
- Does butylbenzyl phthalate metabolize a monoester?
- Monograph on the Potential Human Reproductive and Developmental Effects of Butyl Benzyl Phthalate (BBP). NIH Publication No. 03-4487. This shows that most of the BBP is rapidly metabolized to monoester components and then excreted ^ Zacharewski, T. (1998).
- Is BBP a plasticizer?
- Like most phthalates, BBP is non-volatile and remains liquid over a wide range of temperatures. It was mostly used as a plasticizer for PVC, but was also a common plasticizer for PVCA and PVB. BBP was commonly used as a plasticizer for vinyl foams, which are often used as sheet vinyl flooring and tiles.
