37th International Symposium on Halogenated Persistent Organic Pollutants Vancouver, Canada August 20-25, 2017 Page 1 – June-14-17 Page 2 – June-14-17 Page 3 – June-14-17 A Rapid and Robust Method for Determination of 35 Phthalates in Influent, Effluent and Biosolids from Wastewater Treatment Plants Tommy BISBICOS, Grazina PACEPAVICIUS and Mehran ALAEE Science and Technology Branch, Environment and Climate Change Canada Burlington, Ontario Canada L7S 1A1 Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) • PVC was accidentally synthesized in 1835 by French chemist Henri Victor Regnault • Ivan Ostromislensky and Fritz Klatte both attempted to use PVC in commercial products, • But difficulties in processing the rigid, sometimes brittle polymer blocked their efforts. • Waldo Semon and the B.F. Goodrich Company developed a method in 1926 to plasticize PVC by blending it with various additives. • The result was a more flexible and more easily processed material that soon achieved widespread commercial use. From Wikipedia; accessed Oct, 2014 Plasticizers • Most vinyl products contain plasticizers which dramatically improve their performance characteristic. The most common plasticizers are derivatives of phthalic acid. • The materials are selected on their compatibility with the polymer, low volatility levels, and cost. • These materials are usually oily colorless substances that mix well with the PVC particles. • 90% of the plasticizer market is dedicated to PVC • worldwide annual production of phthalates in 2010 was estimated at 4.9 million tones* From Wikipedia; accessed Oct, 2014; and Emanuel C (2011) Plasticizer market update. http://www.cpsc.gov/about/cpsia/chap/spi.pdf (accessed March, 2014). Phthalate Uses • Plasticizers: – Wire and cable, building and construction, flooring, medical, automotive, household etc., • Solvents: – Cosmetics, creams, fragrances, candles, shampoos etc. -

Abstract: This paper reviews the current trends in replacing commonly used plasticizers in poly(vinyl chloride), PVC, formulations by new compounds with reduced migration, leading to the enhance- ment in mechanical properties and better plasticizing efficiency. Novel plasticizers have been divided into three groups depending on the replacement strategy, i.e., total replacement, partial replacement, and internal plasticizers. Chemical and physical properties of PVC formulations containing a wide range of plasticizers have been compared, allowing observance of the improvements in polymer per- formance in comparison to PVC plasticized with conventionally applied bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, di-n-octyl phthalate, bis(2-ethylhexyl) terephthalate and di-n-octyl terephthalate. Among a variety of newly developed plasticizers, we have indicated those presenting excellent migration resistance and advantageous mechanical properties, as well as those derived from natural sources. A separate chapter has been dedicated to the description of a synergistic effect of a mixture of two plasticizers, primary and secondary, that benefits in migration suppression when secondary plasticizer is added to PVC blend. -

HEALTHY ENVIRONMENTS a Compilation of Substances Linked to Asthma
HEALTHY ENVIRONMENTS A Compilation of Substances Linked to Asthma Prepared by Perkins+Will for the National Institutes of Health, Division of Environmental Protection, as part of a larger effort to promote health in the built environment. July 2011 PURPOSE STATEMENT This report was prepared by Perkins+Will on behalf of the National Institutes of Health, Office of Research Facilities, Division of Environmental Protection, as part of a larger effort to promote health in the built environment. Our research team noted that based on extensive experience, there is a need for more research on the impact that materials and conditions in the built environment have on occupant health. Additionally, existing research data has not been compiled and made available in a form that is readily usable by building professionals for integrating health protective features in the design and construction of buildings. Toward meeting these needs our research team set out to compile data on substances in the built environment that may cause or aggravate asthma, a disease of high and increasing prevalence and major economic importance. This list should be a valuable resource for identifying asthma triggers and asthmagens, minimizing their use in building materials and furnishings, and contributing to our larger goals of fostering healthier built environments.

Synopsis Ion irradiation has been investigated as a route for the preparation of mechanically stable and highly durable cross linked sulphonated PEEK for fuel cell application. Ion irradiation was carried out using the University of Birmingham’s Scanditronix MC-40 Cyclotron operating at 11.7 MeV for H+ and 30 MeV for He2+ and the irradiated materials were characterized focusing on structural, thermal, morphological as well as dielectrical properties. Alterations produced in the molecular structure of amorphous PEEK by ion irradiation have been interpreted as due to chain scission and formation of cross links, as confirmed by sol-gel analysis in MSA using the well known Charlesby–Pinner equation. The thermal decomposition of irradiated PEEK was similar to that of untreated PEEK in that it occurred by a random chain scission process. -
High Performance Ester Plasticizers
High Performance Ester Plasticizers Abstract Traditional elastomer polymers, such as nitrile, polychloroprene, chlorinated polyethylene and chlorosulfonated polyethylene, have for years used moderate- to low- performance ester plasticizers. However, longevity requirements for rubber articles made from these elastomers have created a need for higher-performance ester plasticizers. With the increasing high-temperature demands required by automotive, other elastomers such as acrylic, high-saturated nitrile, epichlorohydrin and ethylene propylene diene monomer EPDM are replacing the more traditional elastomers. Plasticizers commonly used for the traditional and the high-temperature polymers are extractable, incompatible or too volatile. This paper provides information on plasticizers that are designed for traditional elastomers and high-performance polymers. The test data will include heat aging, extraction by hydrocarbons and low-temperature as molded after aging. The information provided indicates that the permanence of the plasticizer after these various agings is the key to the retention of physical properties. Introduction End uses for elastomer compounds are quite diverse, but they can be loosely categorized as being either general performance or higher performance applications. Each of these performance categories requires a different set of considerations in terms of compounding with ester plasticizers. An ester plasticizer, in its simplest concept, is a high-boiling organic solvent that when added to an elastomeric polymer reduces stiffness and permits easier processing.1 For general performance applications, compounders require moderate performance in several areas without particular emphasis on any one. Some general performance ester plasticizers used in the marketplace today are DOA, DIDA, DIDP, DOP, DINP and other phthalates and adipates made from straight-chain alcohols of 7–11 carbons in length. -
CAS 84-69-5 Diisobutyl Phthalate (DIBP)
CAS 84-69-5 Diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP) Toxicity The European Union classified DIBP as a reproductive Substance of Very High Concern (SVHC).1 A 2011 study observed decreased testicular testosterone in male rats fed DIBP for 4 days.2 Borch et al. 2006 found male offspring of female rats exposed to DIBP from gestation day 7 to gestation day 20 or 21 had significantly reduced anogenital distance.3 The Chronic Hazard Advisory Panel (CHAP) determined, due to toxicological profile similarities to Dibutyl phthalate (DBP), exposure to DIBP contributes to a cumulative antiandrogenic effect with other phthalates and should be permanently banned in children’s toys and child care articles at levels greater than 0.1 percent.4 In 2017 the CPSC permanently banned DIBP in children’s toys and childcare articles at levels greater than 0.1 percent.5 Exposure The 2015 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) monitored a metabolite of DIBP in human urine, and the levels appear to be increasing.6 Metabolites of DIBP were detected in the urine of pregnant Danish women in a 2010-2012 study.7 A significant correlation was found between DIBP metabolite concentrations in the urine of Danish children and increased levels of DIBP in bedroom dust and day care centers.8 Other DIBP is used as a substitute ingredient to di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP) due to structural similarities, therefore, its’ presence in products may increase.3 References 1.

Chemical Resistance of Plastics
(c) Bürkle GmbH 2010 Important Important information The tables “Chemical resistance of plastics”, “Plastics and their properties” and “Viscosity of liquids" as well as the information about chemical resistance given in the particular product descriptions have been drawn up based on information provided by various raw material manufacturers. These values are based solely on laboratory tests with raw materials. Plastic components produced from these raw materials are frequently subject to influences that cannot be recognized in laboratory tests (temperature, pressure, material stress, effects of chemicals, construction features, etc.). For this reason the values given are only to be regarded as being guidelines. In critical cases it is essential that a test is carried out first. No legal claims can be derived from this information; nor do we accept any liability for it.
