Biodegradation of phthalates and phthalate esters
Proceedings / Indian Academy of Sciences, 1984Several 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.

Phthalates: Toxicology and exposure
International Journal of Hygiene and Environmental Health, 2007Phthalates 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 ...

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.

Phthalates biodegradation in the environment
Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2008Phthalates 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.

Exposure to phthalates and correlations with phthalates in dust and air in South China homes.
Science of the Total Environment, 2021We spend more than half of our daily time in indoor environments, and the contributions of phthalates present in it to total exposure are important. Here, we determined phthalate concentrations in paired indoor settled dust/air and their metabolites in ...

Metabolism of phthalates in humans
Molecular Nutrition and Food Research, 2007AbstractPhthalates 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 ...

Biological impact of phthalates
Toxicology Letters, 2013Esters 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

Soil contamination and sources of phthalates and its health risk in China: A review
Environmental Research, 2018&NA; Phthalates (PAEs) are extensively used as plasticizers and constitute one of the most frequently detected organic contaminants in the environment. With the deterioration of eco‐environment in China during the past three decades, many studies on PAE ...
