Commercial plasticizers are introduced in Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) to obtain flexibility, high elongation to break, durability, resistance to heat and chemicals. Very used plasticizers are phthalates, most commonly phthalate being di-2-ethyl hexyl phthalate (DEHP). The phthalates are not chemically bound to PVC and can migrate from different devices and objects due to the influence of temperature, or to other types of degradation. In article are presented the harm effects of phthalates. Through…

  • 2007
This fact sheet provides information about the ten phthalate biomarkers being measured and examined by the Breast Cancer and the Environment Research Centers (BCERC) epidemiology studies, sources of exposures, effects on puberty, effects in the body, and research studies looking at phthalates as being associated with breast cancer risk.

PVC Wire Coatings: Part II Characterizations and Performance Predictions

Abstract Theoretical background derived by the authors (1) covering the ageing processes in plasticized PVC is used to characterize the ageing processes in PVC wire coatings. The structural changes…

Medications as a source of human exposure to phthalates.

The highest estimated human exposure to DBP was more than two orders of magnitude lower than the no observable adverse effect level from animal studies, and further research is necessary to determine the proportional contribution of medications, as well as personal care and consumer products, to a person's total phthalate burden.

The Hildebrand solubility parameters of amidium ionic liquids were investigated using the approach of intrinsic viscosity. It was discovered that the nature of the anion influences the Hildebrand…

Human exposure to phthalates via consumer products.

Oven baking of polymer clays may cause short-term, high-level inhalation exposures to higher molecular weight phthalates and cosmetics, personal care products, pharmaceuticals, nutritional supplements, herbal remedies and insecticides, may result in significant but poorly quantified human exposures.
