Studies on the toxicity of phthalates via ingestion.

چکیده
Some recent publications have revealed the presence of phthalates in rather unexpected locations (1-4). Mayer (3) reported that di-n-butyl phthalate and di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate had measurable effects on the Daphnia, an accepted subject for studying the aquatic food chain in the environment. The ubiquity of phthalates has been well documented. Their presence in stored blood samples and in some randomly sampled humans is reason for concern, even though
