Investigation of Diethyl Hexyl Phthalate Migration from Poly(Vinyl Chloride) Serum Bags
ENP Engineering Science Journal, 2021 Plasticizers are used to make Poly (Vinyl Chloride) (PVC) flexible so it can be used in different areas such as intravenous solution containers. Plasticizers can migrate from PVC over time because of contact with these solutions; this phenomenon creates ...

Biodegradation of di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate by a new bacterial consortium
Water Science and Technology, 2023 Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) with continuous high concentration was used as the sole carbon and energy source to isolate a new bacterial consortium (K1) from agricultural soil covered with plastic film for a long time.

Emissions of DEHP‐free PVC flooring [PDF]
Indoor Air, 2019 Degrading 2-ethylhexyl-containing PVC floorings (eg DEHP-PVC floorings) and adhesives emit 2-ethylhexanol (2-EH) in the indoor air. The danger of flooring degradation comes from exposing occupants to harmful phthalates plasticisers (eg DEHP), but not from 2-EH as such.

Fate of phthalic acid esters during composting of both lagooning and activated sludges [PDF]
, 2005 Among the phthalic acid esters (PAEs) targeted by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) as priority pollutants, di-ethyl-hexyl phthalate (DEHP) is the major pollutant identified at high concentration level in lagooning sludge (LS), at
