Measuring and Verifying Performance of FTIR for Rapid Phthalate Screening
نویسنده
چکیده
Phthalates are widely used as plasticizers to make polymers more flexible in industrial and household products. However, lower molecular weight ortho-phthalate plasticizers have serious health effects and are restricted or banned in many countries for use in children’s products. In addition, several government agencies restrict or are investigating restricting ortho-phthalates (ortho-dialkyl phthalates, o-DAPs) in other consumer products [1,2]. One of the most common plastics that can contain higher levels of plasticizers is polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which is widely used in juvenile and industrial products. PVC is used in many industries, and the respective supply chains provide numerous finished products, components, and subassemblies that can contain phthalates.

Rapid and reliable phthalate screening in plastics by portable FTIR spectroscopy
A quantitative method for determining the level of plasticizer in plastics is now available for Agilent portable and handheld FTIR analyzers. The calibrated method affords a limit of quantitation as low as 0.1% as well as provides a very rapid means of screening plastic products and components. This ensures that greater volume of plastic materials can be screened more effi ciently for complianc...
متن کاملDESI MS based screening method for phthalates in consumer goods.
Phthalates are used as plasticizes in many everyday items, but some of them are known as hormone disruptors, being especially harmful during childhood. The European Union therefore restricted their application in children's toys and certain food packaging to 0.1%w. Due to the ever increasing number of plastic-containing consumer goods, rapid screening methods are needed to ensure and improve co...
متن کاملRemoval of Dimethyl Phthalate from Aqueous Solution by Synthetic Modified Nano Zeolite Using Cu2O Nanoparticles
In this paper, a novel nano crystalline sodalite was synthesized and characterized by XRF, XRD, SEM and FTIR analysis. Cu2O nanoparticles (30-60 nm) were loaded on nano zeolite bed and utilized as an adsorbent to remove dimethyl phthalate. The SEM-EDX of modified zeolite indicates that the amount of copper loading on the zeolite was 4.5 wt%. Modified nano zeolite was used as an effective adsorb...

Esters of phthalates, mainly applied as plasticizer, cause several human health and environment hazards. Phthalates are widely used in pharmaceutical products, cosmetics, as well as other plastic commercial products, and can penetrate in foods, water dusts, and air leading to ingestion and inhalation exposure followed by skin absorption for human. These compounds cause serious adverse effect...

BACKGROUND Subjects submitted to intravenous (IV) blood transfusions for medical reasons or blood doping to increase athletic performance are potentially exposed to the plasticizer di-(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) found in IV bags. Exposure to DEHP has been evaluated by measuring DEHP metabolites in selected groups of subjects. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS Urinary DEHP metabolites, mono-(2-ethyl...
