Identity and physical/chemical properties -- Analytical methods -- Sources of human and environmental exposure -- Environmental transport, distribution, and transformation -- Environmental levels and human exposure -- Comparative kinetics and metabolism in laboratory animals and humans -- Effects on laboratory mammals and in vitro test systems -- Effects on humans -- Effects on other organisms in the laboratory and field -- Effects evaluation -- Previous evaluations by international bodies. This book is on the risk assessment of diethyl phthalate. Diethyl phthalate is a colorless liquid with a slight aromatic odor and low volatility. It is used as a plasticizer in a wide variety of consumer products, including plastic packaging films, cosmetic formulations, and toiletries, as well as medical treatment tubing. As a result of its use, human exposure to diethyl phthalate is expected to be significant.--Publisher's description. |
