  • Can DEHP be used in food contact products?
  • Recently, regulatory restrictions have been enacted limiting DEHP use. DEHP cannot be used in food contact products, such as tubing, in Europe. This regulation is expected to impact North American food companies in the near future.
  • How much DEHP was produced in the 1980s?
  • Production of DEHP increased during the 1980s, from 251 million lbs in 1982 to over 286 million lbs. in 1986, with imports of 6 million lbs. In 1986, it was estimated that industries consumed DEHP as follows: plasticizer for polyvinyl chloride, 95%; other uses, 5%.
  • Where does DEHP come from?
  • DEHP has been detected in the effluent of numerous industrial plants. From 1987 to 1993, according to EPA's Toxic Chemical Release Inventory, DEHP releases to land and water totalled over 500,000 lbs., of which about 95 percent was to land. These releases were primarily from rubber and plastic hose industries.
  • Does DEHP cause health problems?
  • It may cause health problems if found in amounts greater than the health standard set by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). What is DEHP and how is it used?
  • Di (2-ethylhexyl) Phthalate, or DEHP, is the most commonly used of a group of related chemicals called phthalates or phthalic acid esters.
  • Does DEHP bioconcentrate?
  • Atmospheric DEHP will be carried long distances and be removed by rain. DEHP does have a tendency to bioconcentrate in aquatic organisms; the experimental BCF values range from a log of 2 to 4 in fish and invertebrates. In fathead minnows the log BCF was 2.93; in bluegill sunfish it was 2.06 .
  • Does DEHP adsorb to water?
  • DEHP has a strong tendency to adsorb to soil and sediments. In water, it will be degraded by microbes in a matter of weeks. DEHP does have a tendency to accumulate in aquatic organisms. How will DEHP be Detected in and Removed from My Drinking Water?
