A Review of Biomonitoring of Phthalate Exposures

Yu Wang, Hongkai Zhu, Kurunthachalam Kannan · 5 Apr 2019

Phthalates (diesters of phthalic acid) are widely used as plasticizers and additives in many consumer products. Laboratory animal studies have reported the endocrine-disrupting and reproductive effects of phthalates, and human exposure to this class of chemicals is a concern. Several phthalates have been recognized as substances of high concern. Human exposure to phthalates occurs mainly…
