Occurrence, distribution, and sources of phthalates and non
Due to strong regulation of phthalates, non-phthalate plasticizers (NPPs) have been introduced to the industrial market. In this study, concentrations of 16 phthalates and five NPPs in sediment were measured to investigate the occurrence, potential source, and ecotoxicological implications of these contaminants.
Occurrence and emission of phthalates and non-phthalate
Phthalates are endocrine-disrupting chemicals that cause adverse health effects in wildlife and humans. Due to domestic and global regulations of phthalates in commercial products, non-phthalate plasticizers (NPPs) have been introduced into industrial markets. Few studies have been conducted on the

- What are phthalate plasticizers?
- Phthalates are endocrine-disrupting chemicals that cause adverse health effects in wildlife and humans. Due to domestic and global regulations of phthalates in commercial products, non-phthalate plasticizers (NPPs) have been introduced into industrial markets.
- Are phthalate-free Plasticizer-based PVC gels safe?
- Phthalate-based plasticizers, which are commonly used for polyvinyl chloride (PVC), exhibit toxic effects on both the environment and human health, leading to the exploration of phthalate-free alternatives. In this study, phthalate-free plasticizer-based PVC (Pf-PVC) gels were developed.
- Are phthalates a major alternative to phthalate plasticizers in WWTP sludge?
- A first study on phthalates and their alternatives was conducted in sludge of WWTPs. Five non-phthalate plasticizers were detected in all sludge samples. DEHT was a major alternative for phthalates as shown by its occurrence and concentration. Consumption patterns of phthalates and alternatives depend on WWTP type.
- Which phthalate based plasticizers are used in the PVC industry?
- Among the traditional plasticizers, phthalate-based plasticizers, such as dibutyl phthalate (DBP), bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), di-iso-nonyl phthalate (DINP), and di-n-octyl phthalate (DNOP), account for more than 90 % of their usage in the PVC industry.
- Are non-phthalate plasticizers replacing phthalates?
- Due to legislative action on use of phthalates, non-phthalate plasticizers (NPPs) from adipates, citrates, and trimellitates are replacing phthalates in industrial markets ( Fromme et al., 2016 ). Acetyl tributyl citrate (ATBC) is mostly used in cosmetics and food-packing materials.
- Are phthalates and NPPs present in sludge?
- In this study, sludge samples were collected from 40 WWTPs in Korea to investigate the occurrence, compositional profiles, and emission flux of phthalates and NPPs. Total concentrations of phthalates and NPPs in sludge ranged from 4.7 to 1400 (mean: 110) μg/g dry weight and from 0.17 to 780 (mean: 28.0) μg/g dry weight, respectively.
