4. How can humans be exposed to DIDP and DINP? - GreenFacts
Occupational exposure to DINP may occur: by skin contact with pure DINP, or mixtures (formulations) or end products containing it, by inhalation (vapours and aerosols) Oral exposure is not considered to be a significant route of exposure under normal working practices. Few countries have defined Occupational Exposure Limits for DINP.
Postnatal exposure to DINP was associated with greater
The toxicity of the endocrine disruptor di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) has been extensively studied for its hormonal dysregulation, obesogenic effect and associated metabolic diseases. DEHP's primary substitute di-isononyl phthalate (DINP), however, although increased in annual production globall
- Does DINP increase the risk of cancer?

- Are DINP phthalates harmful?

At the same time, the FDA is considering advocates’ requests to stop companies from using phthalates in food packaging and production equipment. Food is the primary way that most people are exposed to most phthalates.
- What is the new DINP rule?

- Why did the EPA decide to include DINP in Tri?
