  • PERP Program Developments in Non-Phthalate Plasticizers
    PERP Program Developments in Non-Phthalate Plasticizers Introduction In its broadest definition, a plasticizer is a material that when added to another yields a mixture which is easier to handle or has greater utility. Using water to soften clay or oil to plasticize pitch for waterproofing boats are both examples of early plasticized systems. The use of plasticizers to modify polymers began in the 1800s, when the Hyatt Brothers added camphor to nitrocellulose to increase the latter’s moldability and reduce brittleness. The use of plasticizers in PVC was invented in the 1920s. Plasticizer performance is best when the molecules contain both polar and non-polar groups. The polar groups help the plasticizer be retained in the system, while the non-polar groups attenuate the attractive forces between the polymer chains to give flexibility. It should be noted that a plasticizer is an integral part of the final product and provides long-lived benefits. Smaller, polar materials are effective in increasing processability as well, although volitization of the plasticizer is an issue. Conversely, polymeric plasticizers are retained better and provide better performance at extremes in temperature, but provide little benefit in processability. There have been over 500 plasticizers identified, though only between 50 and 100 are used for commercial purposes. About 80-90 percent of all plasticizers are used in PVC. Other end- uses for plasticizers include synthetic rubbers, cellulosics, and acrylics. Many different materials are used as plasticizers in PVC. The most commonly used materials are phthalate esters. These colorless, odorless liquids are produced by a simple chemical reaction between an alcohol and phthalic anhydride.

  • Review of Exposure and Toxicity Data for Phthalate Substitutes
    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In August 2008, the U.S. Congress passed the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA) placing restrictions on the use of six dialkyl ortho-phthalates (o- DAPs) in children’s toys or child care articles. The CPSIA also directs the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to convene a Chronic Hazard Advisory Panel to investigate the potential health effects of phthalates and phthalate substitutes. The purpose of this report is to identify o-DAP substitutes that are currently being used in children’s articles, or are probable future candidates, and to summarize the potential human health risks associated with using these chemicals in this manner. Chemicals were identified as the most likely alternatives to o-DAPs in children’s articles based on a variety of factors which included their compatibility with polyvinyl chloride (PVC). The five chemicals identified by this report as the most likely o-DAP alternatives are acetyl tri-n-butyl citrate (ATBC), di(2-ethylhexyl) adipate (DEHA), 1,2- cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid, dinonyl ester (DINCH), trioctyltrimellitate (TOTM),and di(2-ethylhexyl) terephthalate (DEHT or DOTP). All, except TOTM, have been cited as already being used in children’s articles. However, TOTM is compatible with PVC – the most popular resin for children’s soft plastic toys and other articles – and thus a likely o- DAP alternative. The review of the potential risks of using these chemicals in children’s articles focused on the amount and quality of data available for the chemical. Key parameters included physical-chemical properties, migration rates, and all available exposure, hazard, and dose-response information.

    Prioritizing hazardous chemicals in children’s consumer products to improve health and safety Marissa N. Smith A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2019 Reading Committee: Elaine M. Faustman, Chair Alison C. Cullen William C. Griffith Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences ©Copyright 2019 Marissa N. Smith University of Washington Abstract Prioritizing hazardous chemicals in children’s consumer products to improve health and safety Marissa N. Smith Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Elaine M. Faustman Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences This dissertation focuses on developing frameworks and supporting evidence for the prioritization of chemicals found in children’s consumer products. Toxic chemicals found in children’s consumer products can impact child health and development. In response to these concerns, Washington and other states have enacted laws requiring manufacturers to report the presence of toxic chemicals in children’s consumer products. These laws have generated extensive data on the types of chemicals children might be exposed to in consumer products and can be useful sources of data for prioritizing chemicals for future action. This dissertation uses data from required reporting laws to generate a prioritization framework, characterize the accuracy of required reporting laws and hypothesize about the safety of alternatives to toxic chemicals. The first objective is to integrate the concentration of potentially hazardous chemicals found in children’s products with exposure and toxicity data to develop a framework for prioritizing chemicals for future research and regulatory actions. We found that chemicals with high toxicity that are found in children’s products with high potential for exposure, such as some phthalates, were among the highest priority chemicals.

  • Toxicity Review of DEHT
    CPSC Staff Statement on University of Cincinnati Report “Toxicity Review for Di-2-ethylhexyl Terephthalate (DEHT)”1 October 2018 The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) contracted with the University of Cincinnati to conduct toxicology assessments for six dialkyl o-phthalate (o-DAP) substitutes: acetyl tri-n-butyl citrate (ATBC); bis(2-ethylhexyl) adipate (DEHA); di-2-ethylhexyl terephthalate (DEHT); 1,2-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid, dinonyl ester, branched and linear (DINX); trioctyltrimellitate (TOTM); and 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol-diisobutyrate (TPIB). The reports will be used to inform staff’s assessment of products that may contain these compounds and is the first step in the risk assessment process. CPSC staff assesses a product’s potential health effects to consumers under the Federal Hazardous Substances Act (FHSA). The FHSA is risk-based. To be considered a “hazardous substance” under the FHSA, a consumer product must satisfy a two-part definition. First, it must be “toxic” under the FHSA, or present one of the other hazards enumerated in the statute. Second, it must have the potential to cause “substantial personal injury or substantial illness during or as a proximate result of any customary or reasonably foreseeable handling or use.” Therefore, exposure and risk must be considered in addition to toxicity when assessing potential hazards of products under the FHSA. The first step in the risk assessment process is hazard identification, which consists of a review of the available toxicity data for the chemical. If it is concluded that a substance may be “toxic”, then a quantitative assessment of exposure and risk is performed to evaluate whether a specified product may be considered a “hazardous substance”.

The utilization of 50 mol % of Brønsted ionic liquid led to the full conversion of terephthalic acid after 8 h of reaction at 120 ◦C. Additionally, a 100% selectivity of bis(2-ethylhexyl) terephthalate was obtained. The advantage of the presented reaction system is based on the formation of a biphasic system during the reaction. The bottom phase consists of an ionic liquid and water, and the upper phase is created by the ester and unreacted alcohol.
