  • Did a 'cloudy agent' replace palm oil with diisononyl phthalate (DINP)?
  • A few days later, a second upstream manufacturer, Pin- Han Perfumery Company of Tu-Cheng District in New Taipei CIty, was also identified for illicitly replacing palm oil with DEHP and diisononyl phthalate (DiNP) in the so called "cloudy agents."
  • Does DINP pose a risk to human health?
  • Past assessments, including the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's (CPSC) risk assessment found that DINP exposure comes primarily from diet for women, infants, toddlers, and children. It is possible that DINP could pose risks to human health through uses or exposure pathways that are not regulated under TSCA.
  • Does EPA need a peer review of the DINP human health hazard assessment?
  • EPA released the draft risk evaluation for DIDP in May 2024 and requested peer review on the DINP human health hazard assessment at that time. The Science Advisory Committee on Chemicals (SACC) is currently engaged in peer review of these documents.
  • How many uses contribute to the unreasonable risk of DINP?
  • In the draft risk evaluation, EPA preliminarily determined that two industrial uses and one consumer use significantly contribute to the unreasonable risk of DINP out of the 45 uses evaluated.
  • Is DINP a TSCA hazard?
  • EPA assessed exposure for 45 TSCA conditions of use of DINP. The two worker uses that EPA identified as preliminarily contributing to unreasonable risk involved unprotected workers using spray adhesives and sealants or paints and coatings that contain DINP with high-pressure sprayers.
  • Which uses of DINP are excluded from TSCA?
  • There are other uses of 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. Workers may be exposed to DINP when making products containing DINP or otherwise using DINP in the workplace.
