dibutyl phthalate

The structure of dibutyl phthalate is shown in Figure 1.

In this application it is often used together with dibutyl phthalate.

At present, there are no Canadian producers of dibutyl phthalate.

Additional dibutyl phthalate may be imported into Canada in plastic products.

Limited data also indicate that dibutyl phthalate might be teratogenic.

Only one report was identified concerning the presence of dibutyl phthalate in groundwater.

In 1991, approximately 540 tonnes of dibutyl phthalate were imported into Canada.

There are some data, however, for dibutyl phthalate.

Derby Day is very sensitive to dibutyl phthalate and may be used as a biomonitor.

The assessment of whether dibutyl phthalate is "toxic" is presented in Section 3.0.

Data relevant to the assessment of whether dibutyl phthalate is "toxic" to the environment obtained after April, 1993, have not been included.

Several data gaps were identified that limited the assessment of environmental effects of dibutyl phthalate.

The half-life for dibutyl phthalate in undiluted sludge was about three days.

In soil, dibutyl phthalate may be more persistent, with a half-life sometimes exceeding 26 weeks.

One company had been producing dibutyl phthalate in quantities less than 1000 tonnes per year, but stopped production in early 1988.

Synopsis Dibutyl phthalate is not currently produced in Canada.

It has similar properties as dibutyl phthalate and can be used as a substitute for it.

Other alleged ingredients are a small amount of isopropyl alcohol and plasticizers like dibutyl phthalate.

Available information does not permit an estimation of the amount of dibutyl phthalate imported in finished plastic products.

PVC is a plasticized polymer which has dibutyl phthalate added to it.

In the atmosphere, dibutyl phthalate has been measured in both the vapour and the particulate phases.

Nail salon workers also face exposures to other chemicals used, such as toluene, dibutyl phthalate, and formaldehyde.

No information was identified on effects of dibutyl phthalate on amphibians, reptiles, or mammalian wildlife.

The developmental effects of dibutyl phthalate have been examined in rats and mice following oral and intraperitoneal administration.

Every person tested had one of the most common phthalates, dibutyl phthalate (DBP) in their body.
