| Abstract |
This publication presents an evaluation of the health hazards of exposure to various phthalate esters (a list of all phthalate esters studied is included in Appendix I). Attention is given to: identity, physical and chemical properties, monitoring; sources of exposure; environmental levels and human exposure; guidelines and standards (concerning the general population and the occupational population); toxicokinetics; toxic effects in animal experiments and observations of adverse effects in humans; previous evaluation by national and international bodies; evaluation of human health risks; recommendations for research. Based on the data available, a health-based occupational exposure limit of 5mg/m3 (as respirable dust) and of 10mg/m3 (as total dust) is recommended for all phthalate esters. A skin notation is not considered necessary. Summary in Dutch. |
