Summary
This study evaluated the aquatic hazard of di(2-propylheptyl) phthalate (DPHP), a novel plasticizer increasingly used to replace regulated phthalates in plastic products. Like other phthalates, DPHP leaches from plastics into the environment and has potential endocrine-disrupting effects; this study provides ecotoxicological data to support its risk assessment.
Plastics differ in chemical composition due to numerous chemicals (additives) used to produce plastic for specific applications [...]
