Evaluation of the health risk to animals playing with phthalate
containing toys

Abstract

Phthalates are used as plasticisers in various polymers (e.g., PVC) that are found in a wide range of products. An earlier survey shows high contents of two phtalates - DEHP and DINP- in PVC toys to animals. When DEHP exposure was estimated based on the relatively conservative assumption that 10% of the phthalate migrates while in the gastrointestinal tract, critical exposure levels were derived for all the scenarios, i.e. even the largest dog eating only 1 g of toy/day that contains a mean content of DEHP is exposed to doses of DEHP where toxic effects can occur.
