  • What is the difference between phthalate and DBP?
  • DEHP was the phthalate detected in higher concentrations in all food groups, with a median of 100 g/kg in milk and milk products, 93 g/kg in fats and oils and ca. l 50 g/kg in cereals and its products and snacks. BBP was detected in much lower median concentrations, up to 2.2 g/kg in condiments and sauces. DBP showed median concentrations
  • What is dibutyl phthalate (DBP)?
  • Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) is a colorless, oily liquid with a slight odor. It is primarily used as a plasticizer, which means it is added to plastics to improve their flexibility, durability, and resistance to cracking. DBP is commonly found in vinyl flooring, adhesives, sealants, automotive parts, and personal care products.
  • Is dibutyl phthalate safe?
  • Context - Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP) is used in a wide range of products for everyday use such as plastics, paints, inks and cosmetics. Its widespread use has raised some concerns on the safety of this compound. Is DBP posing a risk to health or the environment?
  • How much phthalate is in DBP & DEHP?
  • Levels of DBP and DEHP ranged, respectively: < 25 to 150 μg/kg and < 50 to 5,000 μg/kg for samples collected close to an industrial area and an airport, while these phthalates were below the LOD (8 μg/kg for DBP and 20 μg/kg for DEHP) in samples collected in non-industrial sites (Ierapetritis et al., 2014).
  • Is phthalate DIDP a health hazard?
  • The phthalate DIDP also retains its own separate TDI of 150 µg/kg bw per day, calculated based on its effects on the liver. The assessment found that current exposure to these phthalates from food is not of concern for public health.
  • Does DIBP affect phthalate exposure assessment?
  • Given its high potency relative to DEHP as the index substance, inclusion of DIBP can make a major impact on the outcome of an exposure assessment to a group of phthalates and on the risk characterisation – see for example Appendix C – Considerations on DIBP.
