  • What are the critical health effects of DIDP & DINP?
  • Harmful effects to the liver and reproductive effects due to repeated exposure are considered to be the critical health effects in the risk assessment of DIDP and DINP. Risks are assessed by comparing worst case exposures to the exposures at which no harmful effects were observed in animal studies.
  • Are DINP/DIDP exposures a concern for workers?
  • It is concluded that exposures to DINP or DIDP are of no concern for workers because they are well below the amounts that would cause harmful effects. The assessment concluded that there is at present no need for further information and/or testing or for further risk reduction measures beyond those being applied already. More...
  • How safe is DIDP & DINP?
  • The environmental exposure assessment of DIDP and DINP has shown that the exposure of adults and infants via the environment is within the margins of safety when considering liver toxicity and developmental effects.
  • Does DIDP pose an unreasonable risk to human health?
  • EPA preliminarily determined that DIDP poses unreasonable risk of injury to human health to workers exposed to the chemical. EPA also preliminarily determined that DIDP does not pose unreasonable risk of injury to human health for consumers or the general population or pose unreasonable risk to the environment.
  • Are DIDP and DINP TSCA safe?
  • There are other uses of DIDP and DINP that are generally excluded from TSCA, such as personal care products, cosmetics, and food contact materials, and EPA did not evaluate risk associated with these uses. The risk evaluations of DIDP and DINP are the first two manufacturer-requested risk evaluations EPA has conducted.
  • Can DIDP cause cancer?
  • For DIDP, EPA determined that the evidence is not strong enough to conclude that it can cause cancer in people. By contrast, EPA determined that DINP could cause cancer at higher levels of exposure than those that cause liver damage and developmental toxicity.
