Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) is an organic compound which is commonly used as a plasticizer because of its low toxicity and wide liquid range. With the chemical formula C 6 H 4 (CO 2 C 4 H 9 ) 2 , it is a colorless oil, although impurities often render commercial samples yellow.
Benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP) Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) Diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP) The maximum permitted concentrations in non-exempt products are 0.1%. The new substances are also listed under the REACH Candidate list, and DEHP is not authorised for manufacturing (use as a substance) in the EU under Annex XIV of REACH. [19]
The term immediately dangerous to life or health (IDLH) is defined by the US National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) as exposure to airborne contaminants that is "likely to cause death or immediate or delayed permanent adverse health effects or prevent escape from such an environment." Examples include smoke or other ...
Dibutyl phthalate, a plasticizer sometimes used in glow sticks (and many plastics), has raised some health concerns. It was put on California's list of suspected teratogens in 2006. [ 26 ] Glow stick liquid contains ingredients that can act as a plasticizer, softening plastics onto which it leaks. [ 27 ]
Bretherick’s Handbook of Reactive Chemical Hazards is a well-established source of information on chemical safety, often known by its author’s name, and often cited in the chemical and chemical engineering literature. In recent editions it has been in two volumes, volume 1 being individual compounds and hazardous reactions, volume 2 being ...
[64] [70] It is on the List of Ingredients that are Prohibited for Use in Cosmetic Products. [70] Twenty of the 28 phthalate substances under national screening programs are considered possible risks to human health or the environment. [64] As of 2021, regulations to protect the environment against DEHP and B79P have not been enacted. [64]
Hazardous chemicals present physical and/or health threats to workers in clinical, industrial, and academic laboratories. Laboratory chemicals include cancer-causing agents (carcinogens), toxins (e.g., those affecting the liver, kidney, and nervous system), irritants, corrosives, sensitizers, as well as agents that act on the blood system or damage the lungs, skin, eyes, or mucous membranes.
Monobutyl phthalate (MBP) is an organic compound with the condensed structural formula CH 3 (CH 2) 3 OOCC 6 H 4 COOH. It is a white solid that features both an butyl ester group and a carboxylic acid group. It is the major metabolite of dibutyl phthalate. Like many phthalates, MBP has attracted attention as a potential endocrine disruptor. [3]
