  • 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.
  • What are plasticizers & phthalate esters?
  • Plasticizers are chemical additives that provide durability, elasticity and flexibility of polymeric products (Wilkes et al., 2005). Phthalate esters (PEs) are the dominant substance class of plasticizers, and in particular bis-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) has been the most widely used substance (Murphy, 2001, Sampson and de Korte, 2011).
  • Are alternative phthalate plasticizers toxic?
  • Most long-term DNELs of alternative plasticizers are relatively high compared to DEHP (one of the most toxic phthalate plasticizers). Also other phthalates (DINP, DIDP, DPHP) were less toxic than DEHP, having higher DNELs. For DBA, COMGHA, DOS and DBS no hazard was identified due to the extremely low toxicities measured.
  • Do alternative plasticizers metabolize phthalates and DINCH?
  • For instance, the human metabolism of phthalates and DINCH is well known. Therefore, exposure to these substances can be well assessed by measuring relevant metabolites in human matrices like blood or urine. Unfortunately, this has not been done for all relevant alternative plasticizers.
  • What is plasticizer phthalate?
  • Plasticizer phthalate is a pollutant. Its teratogenic or carcinogenic effects on human. Phytotoxic effects of phthalate and its transmission through food chain. Abatement of phthalate via bioremediation. Microbe-mediated soil-phthalate bioaugmentation approaches.
  • What plastics are phthalates used for?
  • You’ll find them in everything from vinyl flooring to bath toys. The most common plastic enhanced with phthalates is polyvinyl chloride (PVC), a hard plastic that becomes flexible by adding phthalates. PVC is the second-most used plastic worldwide. “Phthalates work as ‘plasticizers’ to help soften PVC,” Dr. Taylor explains.
