  • What is diethyl phthalate (DEP)?
  • Diethyl phthalate (DEP) is one of the extensively used plasticizers which has been considered a priority hazardous pollutant due to its carcinogenic, endocrine disrupter, and multi-toxic effects on humans.
  • Is diethyl phthalate safe in cosmetics?
  • And finally for the last phthalate (DEP) out of the ten analysed for, the Scientific Committee on Cosmetics and Non-Food Products (SCCNFP) has expressed on its 20th plenary meeting the 4th June 2002 a positive opinion (SCCNFP/411/01) on the safe use of diethyl phthalate (DEP) in Cosmetics.
  • How much diethyl phthalate is in perfume?
  • In the TNO report (2005) that formed the basis of the Greenpeace report, the range of diethyl phthalate (DEP) in perfume was from 0.4 to 22299 mg/kg or 2.23% with a median concentration of 1073 mg/kg. These concentrations are within the range allowed for DEP use in perfumes.
  • How safe is diethylhexyl phthalate?
  • Diethylhexyl Phthalate (DEHP) was found in 14/36 perfume samples at concentrations ranging from 1 - 167 mg/kg. A Margin of Safety can be calculated, using the highest concentration (0.0167 %), based on NOAEL and worst-case estimate of 5 % dermal absorption for DEHP reported in the literature (EU Risk Assessment DEHP, 2003).
  • Why are phthalates used in industrial products?
  • Phthalates are anthropogenic compounds widely used in many industrial products due to their chemical properties that confer flexibility and durability to building materials, lubricants, solvents, insect repellents, clothing, cosmetics.
  • Is microbial degradation a natural way to treat phthalates?
  • Under natural conditions, photodegradation and hydrolysis rates of phthalates are often very slow; therefore, microbial degradation is a natural way to treat these pollutants.
