Phthalate Free Determination

Phthalates are ubiquitous and the health risks are a concern. Recent research has revealed their far-reaching adverse health effects.

At every stage of daily life, people are faced with chemicals. Chemicals are found everywhere, from household cleaners to food packaging, fragrances, cosmetics and personal care products. People are exposed to high levels of a group of chemicals called phthalates.

According to research, phthalates cause asthma, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, breast cancer, obesity and diabetes, low IQ, neurodevelopmental problems, behavioral problems, autism, altered reproductive development and male fertility problems. Phthalates are a very large class of chemicals and mainly include: butyl benzyl phthalate, dibutyl phthalate, di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate, diethyl phthalate, di-butyl phthalate and benzyl butyl phthalate. Many of these have been determined to have negative effects on health.

Of these, di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate is very dangerous and hundreds of products now use another phthalate instead.

In short, phthalates are virtually impossible to avoid, both because they are ubiquitous and because they are not listed on product labels. It is still used in household goods (vinyl flooring), personal care products (hair care, body wash, some cosmetics), fragrance, household cleaners and food. Even for those who avoid these products or buy phthalate-free varieties, phthalates lurk in unexpected places.
