| Definitions |
Plasticizers are additives used in the production of plastics to reduce the attraction between polymer chains, thereby increasing the flexibility and durability of the resulting plastic. Plasticizers, such as phthalates, are chemical additives used to increase the plasticity of materials and are found in a wide range of applications including bottles, bank cards, clothing, and medical devices. The presence of phthalate metabolites in the urine of infertile men is associated with increased sperm DNA damage [48]. Bisphenol A is a related compound used in the production of certain plastics. The most common plasticizers are phthalate esters, which are used primarily in the manufacturing of products made from PVC, including shower curtains, upholstery, flooring, and food containers. Phthalates are also used as dispersants, binders, and emulsifiers in personal care products, adhesives, detergents, paints, and pharmaceuticals. Common plasticizers used in ceramic formulations include phthalates, such as dibutyl phthalate (DBP), and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), |
