Phthalates in indoor dust in Kuwait: implications for non-dietary human exposure.
TLDR
The difference in exposure estimates between children and adults in this study supports previous reports that children are at greater risk from pollutants that accumulate indoors.
Levels of phthalate esters in settled house dust from urban dwellings with young children in Nanjing, China
Phthalate exposure in Chinese homes and its association with household consumer products.
Phthalate and PAH concentrations in dust collected from Danish homes and daycare centers
Phthalate esters in settled dust of different indoor microenvironments; source of non-dietary human exposure
Comparative assessment of human exposure to phthalate esters from house dust in China and the United States.
TLDR
Dietary intake is the main source of exposure to DEHP (especially in China), whereas dermal exposure was a major source for DEP.

TLDR
Except for adults, the CR of DEHP for four subgroups (infants, toddlers, children, and teenagers) had exceeded the limitation, implying that they are at the risk of exposure to DEHP through dust ingestion.

The Association between Phthalates in Dust and Allergic Diseases among Bulgarian Children
TLDR
This study shows an association between concentration of DEHP in indoor dust and wheezing among preschool children in Bulgaria.
Concentration of phthalate esters found in homes of healthy and allergic children
TLDR
Investigation of the effect of the indoor environment on the prevalence of allergy and asthma among children in Bulgaria and Greenland confirmed the findings from an ongoing study in Sweden, showing higher mean concentrations of DEHP and BBzP in homes of cases in comparison to healthy children.
Occurrence of phthalates and musk fragrances in indoor air and dust from apartments and kindergartens in Berlin (Germany).
TLDR
The phthalate and musk compounds load in a sample of apartments and kindergartens were low with a typical distribution pattern in air and household dust, but without a significant correlation between air and dust concentration.
Phthalate levels in Norwegian indoor air related to particle size fraction.
TLDR
The analyses indicate that tyre wear was of minor importance for indoor levels of both DBP as well as total phthalates, which supports the notion that inhalation of indoor PM contributes to the totalphthalate exposure.
Prenatal exposures to phthalates among women in New York City and Krakow, Poland.
TLDR
The results demonstrate considerable phthalate exposures during pregnancy among women in these two cohorts and indicate that inhalation is an important route of exposure.
The Association between Asthma and Allergic Symptoms in Children and Phthalates in House Dust: A Nested Case–Control Study
TLDR
Phthalates, within the range of what is normally found in indoor environments, are associated with allergic symptoms in children, and these associations can be explained by a combination of chemical physical properties and toxicologic potential.
What Are the Sources of Exposure to Eight Frequently Used Phthalic Acid Esters in Europeans?
TLDR
The scenario‐based approach chosen in the present study provides a link between the knowledge on emission sources of phthalates and the concentrations ofphthalate metabolites found in human urine, which demonstrates that exposure of infant and adult consumers is caused by different sources in many cases.
Phthalates, alkylphenols, pesticides, polybrominated diphenyl ethers, and other endocrine-disrupting compounds in indoor air and dust.
TLDR
This study provides a basis for prioritizing toxicology and exposure research for individual EDCs and mixtures and provides new tools for exposure assessment in health studies.
Partitioning of phthalates among the gas phase, airborne particles and settled dust in indoor environments
Residential exposure to plasticizers and its possible role in the pathogenesis of asthma.
TLDR
Evidence is provided that inhalation exposure to DEHP as aerosols adsorbed to particulate matter is as important, or more important, than vapor phase exposure.
