  • Why are plasticizers still produced in Iran?
  • Abstract—Iran is one of the main producers and consumers of plasticizers in the Middle East and Asia, but due to imposed sanctions, unfortunately Iran was deprived from the research and development in this industry. As a result, this has caused continuing the production of harmful plasticizers in Iran.
