Summary

A study using urinary biomarker data found that Korean adults who consumed shellfish more frequently had significantly higher concentrations of phthalate metabolites, including DEHP breakdown products linked to endocrine disruption. The findings suggest shellfish are a meaningful dietary route of phthalate exposure.

Body Systems

The concentrations of urinary phthalate metabolites (MEOHP, MECPP, ∑DEHP, MCOP, MCNP, and MCPP) were higher in adults with a higher frequency of shellfish consumption.
