  • Which phthalate is used as plasticizer?
  • High-molecular weight phthalates, such as di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and diisononyl phthalate (DiNP), are used as plasticizers to impart flexibility to polyvinyl chloride (PVC) materials used to make food packaging, flooring, and medical equipment (tubing, blood bags).
  • Which plasticizer has the highest concentration of diethylhexyl phthalate?
  • Diethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) was measured in all 71 products. DEHT had the highest concentration of any plasticizer (>10,000 ng/g in three oils). Oils had the highest total plasticizer (median = 770 ng/g, max 14,900 ng/g) and milk the lowest (median 88 ng/g, max 120 ng/g).
  • Which phthalate plasticizers are used in flexible PVC packaging?
  • Human biomonitoring data are available for DINCH, DOTP, DEHA, DINA, and TOTM, and indicate that total exposures from all sources are below regulatory thresholds. Several non-ortho phthalate plasticizers, including ATBC, DEHA, DINCH, DOTP, and ESBO, are currently used in flexible PVC applications for food packaging and processing.
  • Are soft vinyl toys phthalates regulated in Canada?
  • For soft vinyl children's toys and child-care articles, compliance and enforcement of the existing restriction of DEHP (and 5 other phthalates) will continue as part of the regular enforcement of the Phthalates Regulations under the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act.
  • What phthalate is banned in Europe & Canada?
  • In cosmetics, the use of DEHP, the most problematic phthalate for health, is banned in Europe and in Canada. According to the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), the derived no-effect levels (DNEL, or “safe dose”) are 34 µg/kg for DEHP, 8.3 µg/kg for DiBP, 6.7 µg/kg for DnBP, and 500 µg/kg for BBzP.
  • Do phthalates from recycled plastics affect human health?
  • We found no reviews of epidemiological human studies on the impact of phthalates from recycled plastics on human health. We recommend that future research should use urine samples as exposure measures, consider confounders in analyses and measure impacts on female reproductive systems.
