FIGUEROA, Z., M. K. MORGAN, P. A. JONES, C. W. CROGHAN, L. S. SHELDON, AND A. M. CALAFAT. AN OBSERVATIONAL STUDY ON THE POTENTIAL EXPOSURES OF 111 PRESCHOOL CHILDREN TO PHTHALATES IN THEIR EVERYDAY ENVIRONMENTS. Presented at American Public Health Association Annual Conference, Washington, DC, November 03 - 07, 2007.
Impact/Purpose:
The overall objectives of CTEPP were to measure the aggregate exposures of approximately 260 preschool children and their adult caregivers to low levels of a suite of pesticides and organic pollutants that the children may encounter in their everyday environments, and to apportion the routes of exposure and estimate the relative contributions of each route.
Description:
The purpose of this work was to identify potential sources and routes of preschool children exposures to two phthalate diesters used in household and personal care products and building materials. Exposure and biomonitoring data was reviewed. The abstract included the preliminary conncentration results found in the collected media. Urine samples were analyzed for two main metabolites of interest in collaboration with CDC.
