  • What is the absorption of DINP/DIDP?
  • Excretion of DINP and DIDP Absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion studies conducted in rats show that after oral administration, the absorption of DINP/DIDP via gastrointestinal (GI) tract is very rapid, while their dermal absorption appears to be very minimal (<5%) [ 16, 24 ].
  • Is DIDP a contaminant?
  • A single dose of DIDP or DINP which is breathed in, swallowed (for example as a contaminant in food) or absorbed through the skin has a low toxicity. DIDP and DINP are not irritant to skin, eyes or respiratory system, nor do they cause skin or respiratory sensitization.
  • Does DIDP cause cancer?
  • DIDP and DINP have not been shown to cause damage to the inherited genetic material in cells (chromosomes and DNA) as shown by several laboratory tests. DIDP was found to cause liver cancer through a mechanism that is specific to rodents and does not affect humans.
  • Are DIDP & DINP irritant?
  • DIDP and DINP are not irritant to skin, eyes or respiratory system, nor do they cause skin or respiratory sensitization. In rodents and dogs, toxicity to the liver is the main result of repeated oral exposure to DIDP or DINP.
  • What is the difference between DIDP and DINP?
  • Both DIDP and DINP can cause developmental toxicity and liver damage, but DINP is considered the more toxic of the two because effects are observed at lower levels of exposure in rodent models. For DIDP, EPA determined that the evidence is not strong enough to conclude that it can cause cancer in people.
  • How does DINP/DIDP work?
  • Absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion studies conducted in rats show that after oral administration, the absorption of DINP/DIDP via gastrointestinal (GI) tract is very rapid, while their dermal absorption appears to be very minimal (<5%) [ 16, 24 ]. Once absorbed, DINP/DIDP predominantly distributes in blood, liver, and kidney.
