Phthalates, also known as phthalates, abbreviation PAE, is a general term for esters formed from phthalic acid. When used as a plasticizer for plastics, it generally refers to an ester of phthalic acid and a 4-15 carbon alcohol. Among them, dioctyl phthalate is the most important variety. Phthalates are a class of chemicals that can soften. It is widely used in hundreds of products such as toys, food packaging, vinyl flooring, wallpaper, cleaners, nail polish, sprays, shampoos and shower gels. Studies have shown that phthalates can interfere with endocrine, reduce male sperm count, exercise ability, morphological abnormalities, and can also lead to dead sperm disease and testicular cancer, which is the "culprit" for male reproductive problems.
Phthalates are a class of chemicals that can soften. It is widely used in hundreds of kinds of toys, food packaging materials, medical blood bags and hoses, vinyl floors and wallpapers, cleaners, lubricants, personal care products (such as nail polish, hair sprays, soaps and shampoos). Products.
From the current situation, people pay the most attention to phthalates in children's products. Professor Cheng said that the European Union formally made a decision in 1999 to carry out phthalate esters in mouth-contact toys (such as baby pacifiers) and other children’s products used by children under the age of 3 in EU member states. Strict restrictions. Experts have found that phthalate-containing soft plastic toys and children's products may be put into the mouth by children. If left for long enough, it will cause the dissolution of phthalate to exceed the safe level, which will harm Children's liver and kidney can also cause precocious puberty in children.
The control of phthalates is currently targeted at six of them
EU Directive 2005/84/EC requires that all toys or children's care products containing DEHP, DBP, and BBP concentrations exceeding 0.1% must not be sold on the EU market;
Limit the three other phthalates (DINP, DIDP, and DNOP) contained in toys that can be placed in imports and plastics for child care, and the concentration should not exceed 0.1%.
After the implementation of 2005/84/EC, countries/regions have successively issued regulations to control such substances, but the control of this substance is not the same, please refer to the following table:

Detection method
The phthalate detection method is very mature, and the detection standards have been issued at home and abroad. Generally, it is detected by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) after extraction with organic solvents.
The main testing standards are:
EN 14372 Children's product safety requirements and test methods (European standard, Soxhlet extraction method)
EN 15777 Textiles. Test method for phthalates (European standard, Soxhlet extraction method)
CPSC-CH-C1001-09.3 Standard operating procedure for phthalate testing (American standard, using the dissolution-solidification method)
Health Canada Method C34 Determination of Phthalates in Polyvinyl Chloride Products (Canada Standard, Dissolution Method)
GB/T 22048 Determination of phthalate plasticizer in PVC plastic for toys and children's products (Chinese standard, Soxhlet extraction method)
