摘要: Phthalate esters have been found in the environment. They also detected humans and animals. We do not know how they enter environment nor we if present a hazard to mankind. Strong evidence exists pointing natural occurrence of phthalate moiety. However, what extent these sources contribute total amount This meeting industrial, academic, medical, government scientists from many disciplines will give public, whom all serve, better understanding issues than individually pursued our separate courses. The public deserves best scientific opinions can them based on meaningful research interpreted with unemotional perspective. objective this presentation is provide specific aspects plasticizer technology market data necessary for environmentalists toxicologists understand possible points entry into or human body: esterification process; ester transport; polymer-plasticizer enduses; disposal; sources. Only small portion storehouse be reported here. Phthalates are used virtually every major
