Phthalates biodegradation in the environment

open access: yesApplied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2008
Phthalates are synthesized in massive amounts to produce various plastics and have become widespread in environments following their release as a result of extensive usage and production. This has been of an environmental concern because phthalates are hepatotoxic, teratogenic, and carcinogenic by nature.

Metabolism of phthalates in humans

open access: yesMolecular Nutrition and Food Research, 2007
AbstractPhthalates are synthetic compounds widely used as plasticisers, solvents and additives in many consumer products. Several animal studies have shown that some phthalates possess endocrine disrupting effects. Some of the effects of phthalates seen in rats are due to testosterone lowering effects on the foetal testis and they are similar to those ...

Pollutants delivered every day: Phthalates in plastic express packaging bags and their leaching potential

open access: yesJournal of Hazardous Materials, 2020
The rapid development of the express industry brings not only convenience but also environmental problems such as plastic wastes. In this study, we collected plastic express packaging bags from major express companies in China to investigate phthalates ...

Melaminium phthalate

Acta Crystallographica Section C Crystal Structure Communications, 2001
The crystals of the new melaminium salt, 2,4,6-triamino-1,3,5-triazin-1-ium hydrogenphthalate, C3H7N6+.C8H5O4-, are built up from single protonated melaminium residues and single dissociated hydrogenphthalate(1-) anions. The protonated melaminium ring is almost planar.

Phthalates: Toxicology and exposure

International Journal of Hygiene and Environmental Health, 2007
Phthalates are used as plasticizers in PVC plastics. As the phthalate plasticizers are not chemically bound to PVC, they can leach, migrate or evaporate into indoor air and atmosphere, foodstuff, other materials, etc. Consumer products containing phthalates can result in human exposure through direct contact and use, indirectly through leaching into ...

Biodegradation of phthalates and phthalate esters

Proceedings / Indian Academy of Sciences, 1984
Several microorganisms utilising terephthalate and diethylphthalate have been isolated from garden soil. Protocatechuate was one of the intermediates in the degradation of terephthalic acid and diethylphthalate. Accumulation of protocatechuate during the growth of these strains has been described.

Hazard to the developing male reproductive system from cumulative exposure to phthalate esters—dibutyl phthalate, diisobutyl phthalate, butylbenzyl phthalate, diethylhexyl phthalate, dipentyl phthalate, and diisononyl phthalate

Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology, 2009
Phthalate esters are found in a wide variety of consumer and food packing products. Hence there is widespread exposure of the human population to these chemicals. Some of the phthalate esters are known to be toxic to the developing male reproductive system.

Biological impact of phthalates

Toxicology Letters, 2013
Esters of phthalic acid are chemical agents used to improve the plasticity of industrial polymers. Their ubiquitous use in multiple commercial products results in extensive exposure to humans and the environment. This study investigated cytotoxicity, endocrine disruption, effects mediated via AhR, lipid peroxidation and effects on expression of enzymes

Rates of the Phthalate Dioxygenase Reaction with Oxygen Are Dramatically Increased by Interactions with Phthalate and Phthalate Oxygenase Reductase

Biochemistry, 2004
The phthalate dioxygenase system, which catalyzes the dihydroxylation of phthalate to form its cis-dihydrodiol (DHD), has two components: phthalate dioxygenase (PDO), a multimer with one Rieske-type [2Fe-2S] and one Fe(II) center per monomer, and phthalate dioxygenase reductase (PDR), which contains flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and a plant-like ...
